Pre Op Liquid Diet -- I FAILED 11/2/09

So I just made a video yesterday before I went to work about starting my pre op liquid protein diet yesterday. I was pumped that I was going to do it. So I had my protein shake, it wasn't bad at all. I went to Whole Foods before I went to work and bought some premade protein drinks. I had one when I got to work along with some Jello and soup. I was absolutely starving by 1am.. I broke down and cried. I needed to eat something.

FYI --- I'm NOT REQUIRED to do this pre op diet. The only pre op diet I'm required to do is 24hours prior to surgery is do a clear liquid diet. I was doing this based on getting my mindset for surgery.
(surgery scheduled november 13th)

I DO NOT need to be on a specific diet because I know that my liver does not need be shrunk since recently I had my gallbladder taken out and my Doctor that did that told me that my liver looks fine.

I hope you guys are not mad at me!

I know I'm going to be ready for eating when I'm done with my surgery.

You have to understand with this diet that I was trying to be on, there was lack of motivation since I wasn't required to do it. I know that with the lap band, if I DON'T DO IT RIGHT then I will have major consequences such as weight gain, band slippage, etc.

I'll keep you posted next week.

Don't feel bad! The Dr said I didn't have to do it and I was thrilled so I give you a lot of credit for willingly trying it.

don't be dissapointed in yourself. because i think its all mind over matter, and since it wasnt mandatory it just didnt happen for you. hehe

[jlind4023]

Thank you hun! It's going to be a struggle to fight these hunger pains.

I'm scared about that part right after surgery. I hope that when they insert the band, they put some kind of CC's (restriction) in it. I need to this tool to help me.

[jlind4023]

[jlind4023]

Don't be sorry. At least you tried it. My pre-op diet wasn't just all liquids. I was allowed one small meal (whether it be lunch or dinner) and two small snacks throughout the day (under 100 cal). My goal was a 1,000 cal day diet. Which I was able to do and lost 13lbs before surgery. Good luck to you! :-)
