10 days post op... stall
Breezie.againOctober 9, 2017
Been on water, disgusting vitamins, loathsome premier protein shakes, and broth for 10 days. For the last 3 days I've been itching outta my mind on my stomach until I woke up yesterday with my entire face swollen covered in an itchy rash. Called the surgeon he told me to call my primary physician. I'll have an update tomorrow. Can't sleep through the night, nor have I been able to since the surgery. I haven't lost one single pound since the surgery 10 days ago. I walk 1 hour every day. No change on the scale nor my clothing. Wondering was it worth it.

2 weeks pre-op liquid diet hell
Breezie.againSeptember 17, 2017
What's funny is I always never see anyone discuss the pre-op liquid diet but they should. I'm only on day three and I'm going thru hell. I'm always hungry. I can't find anything that's acceptable to eat. It's a struggle to say the least. No fruit, no oil, no sugar, no bread, no starch or starchy vegetables, no meat, no juice, no drink, no coffee, no carrots, no tomatoes, and no salt. What does one eat? Then the day before surgery is clear liquids only. I lost 15 lbs by today.... day 3 just from following this diet. 12 more days to go. This shall be a challenge.

Most of us had different Pre-Op diets to follow. Mine was a low carb diet so I was one of the lucky ones. But stay strong and focus and you will come out okay.

Once you accept you can't eat you should be fine lol walmart great value apple juice is good there is no added sugar in it make sure you're getting your water in daily and if you're able to drink protein shakes the premier protein ones are great the chocolate ones frozen taste like a frosty from Wendy's and the 30g of protein should keep you full hang in there you can do this

We have to realize processing of any food can intensify its caloric content. EAT apples, you need the fiber for digestion and it helps fill you up with minimal additional calories. A glass of apple JUICE has all the calories of a bag of apples with none of the fiber to slow down your appetite.
WHOLE foods are your friends.

My pre-op, I can have 2 cups of vegetables for dinner with my protein shakes, I like the muscle milk and unjury. Intend on trying the premiere shakes just for variety. 6 to 8 weeks is a long time.

Oh and chicken, beef, and vegetable broth low fat and low sodium of course. Sugar free gelatin and sf ice pops, black coffee and tea. no green tea. Hope this helps
