Pre Op Diet Day Two

[clairekel]

Someone please help I am day two on my pre op diet due to have surgery on the 28th of August I am starving I don't know how I am going to cope for another 11 days. I feel really down and tired and don't know what to do without eating, I am also getting headaches.

Hello, i know its not easy but try to stay positive,what kind of pre-op diet are you doing?

I found sugar free jelly a great help when i felt i was going to lose control,also you need to drink plenty of water,it will make you feel fuller and help with the headaches.

Hi honey
it depends on which diet you're on. If it's the milk diet, try this smoothie recipe

(as long as you're allowed a bit of fruit)

6 strawberries
1 muller light vanilla yoghurt
1/2 pint milk
6 ice cubes

all whizzed up in a blender. VERY filling and tasty.

and drink loads of water, diet fizzys etc

The first few days are the worst, honestly. You can do this!

Thanks for your advice, I am on three slimfasts a day and two muller light yogurts. I do feel a bit better today the hunger seems to be fading x

Charis is right after the initial two days you will not be bothered about food. Hang in there x

Hi Chinsaway,

well o am on the pre-op diet and this is designed to shrink the size of your liver and put your body into a state of ketosis. When you reach this stage it means your liver has gotten rid of some stuff and has shrunk making surgery easier as a heavy fatty liver can complicate things, and no your not daft.

Good luck

Oh god, this is the bit I'm dreading - I think I'd just go to bed for the two weeks and hibernate! :zz:

Wishing Good Luck to you all - keep strong - and just concentrate on the good part: you get your op soon!
