One week into pre-op diet ...ooft

[Bubbles1971]

I'm not quite a full week into the pre op diet yet and I already cannot face it. It's not the hunger, I find I'm not that hungry. It's not the cravings, I've found a way to manage that by watching food programmes believe it or not and making a note of the things I want and 'can have later down the line'. It's trying to force a pint of milk and that sour low fat natural yoghurt down my throat 3 times a day ... deary me it's bringing a tear to my eye! :cry:

I just keep thinking its for safe and easier surgery which is keeping me going.

Can you ask your provider if there is a different diet you can do if you are really struggling?

There are other options out there for pre-op diet. I did the Weight to Go pre-op diet which consists of shakes, soups and low fat meals.

As others have said, talk to your provider as they may be able to swap you on to a different pre-op diet.

I think the pre-op diet is actually harder than all the liquid and babyfood consistency slop you have after surgery!

When are you having surgery?
