Starting today!

Eeekkkk!!!!!!

Having a gastric bypass on 14th May so pre-op starts today. Mine is a low fat, low carb diet restricted to 800 calories per day as I am lactose intolerant so can't do a milk diet or slim fast meal replacement diet. Apprehensive and scared! It makes the operation all the more real........

Thank you. Will be holding out for breakfast as long as possible. I'll wait until I feel like I'm going to pass out!

Tried to eat as slow as I'll have to post op - good grief how bored did I get? Only ate half of it and it was only a teeny amount to start with! Huge learning curve ahead of me.

[Nellyphant]

I had my Sunday roast yesterday as my 'last supper' so to speak. Doing ok. Feel wobbly but it'll soon be tea time. Haven't eaten enough today as it took my 2 goes to eat my lunch and I only had a banana for breakfast. Having chicken with steamed green veggies and some bouillon over it (don't like dry food) whilst my DH and DD have left over beef. I can still have a yoghurt and some fruit if I need it later. I could also eat my breakfast oats as I didn't have them earlier! Weighed myself this morning and my DH is going to take some before pics tonight.

Thanks all for your encouragement and good luck messages.

Good luck to allof you on this thread that are awaiting their op and have started or going to start on their pre op diet. Part of the journey upto the top the day the flag goes on the summit is when you come round after the op, then you feel good but have to get back down the mountain and back on the trail of life its a wonderful journey with both ups and downs but fab too see the clothes that don't fit any more and the scales numbers getting littler thats my favourite bit. xxx

 

[Nellyphant]

So this is what I had yesterday (Sun 29th April)

1 small banana
4 celery sticks
Tuna, mangetout and sugar snap peas
1/2 chicken breast, cabbage and bouillon
3 cups of tea with milk, 5 pints of NAS squash and 2 pints of pepsi max
