1st week pre op diet done

[karenlouisemee]

Well i have finished my first week pre op diet and thought i would jump on the scales in total to date i have lost 10 pounds. I know its not the weight im watching but im hoping this means my liver is shrinking nicely

Well Done Karen, has it been a struggle or have you coped nicely?
I wont be long until im doing the same.xx

At the beginning it was a little rough. but the hunger pangs were nothing i couldnt ignore after day 3 i think my body just gave in and thought there is no point fighting cause she isnt going to give me anything. i am so glad i took this time off work cause i have been so tired throughout and had a few little pains but other than that im good. getting excited and nervous at the same time. Im lucky though as i have some close friends that have had the same procedure and also the band so if i have any worries i just give them a tinkle.

my tip for pre op is keep really busy so you dont get time to think about food also drink lots of water.

That's got to be the best way Karen and good luck to you now... keep resting and get well soon!

Thanks for the encouragement I just finished mtg. With dietician to prepare for eating after surgery

It's all about the liver shrinkage babe! You definitely want to do your surgery laprascopically if possible. The recovery is MUCH faster.
