Anyone else bloated on the pre op diet

[bex986]

Since starting this diet I am so bloated and my stomach hurts with trapped wind :-/
Is this a normal thing to put up with?
Also have had a huge headache since starting it and as expecting am exhausted!
Have only been on it since wednesday! This is going to be a long 2 weeks!

it is very common that headaches kick in around day 3/4 but tend to ease off after this point often along with the hunger. Have you tried taking anything for the trapped wind?

 

[bex986]

No I havent taken anything for it, am going to get something tomorrow.
Can't wait for my surgery to be here, am finding this diet reallt hard

 

[top_kat]

it's not easy, but so worth it. Are you on milk/yoghurt?

 

[bex986]

I'm on 3 meal replacement shakes a day, thats the one me dietician recommended I follow.
Even the thought of the shakes is making me heave!
I am craving a baked potato and a mango for some reason lol

Is it like is detoxing all your bad foods - sugars headache and bloating??

THG have said I shouldn't need to do a pre op diet hence why I can have the surgery in 6 days time ......

Hummmm xx

Why didn't you need to follow the diet?
I've only had to do it for a week

 

[BandedHun]

Adrienne, I'm not too sure. I saw my consultant today and because I road run still only able to do 6-7 miles max at the mo as my weight is really hurting my knees and ankles Mr El-Hasani has sent me a diet plan instead of the pre op liver diet now for the next 5 days and try to be active. We will see how this goes. He didn't say why I didn't need to do it, but it might be as my BMI is only 33 (only... It's my bl00dy biggest weight ever!) xx

 

[adrienne]

My
Bmi is 33 too! So you have to follow a diet though!?
Or not at all?
How heavy are you? I'm 5.6 and 15 stone

 

[adrienne]

Did he tell you to carry on running up until surgery

 

[BandedHun]

He said stay active yes. But after no no. I can start road running again at 4 weeks post op should everything be healing well ....

 

[adrienne]

Whst is your height and weight? If you'd rather not say that's cool, just wondering if you are like me ? I do boot camp but I've been lazy last few weeks

 

[adrienne]

I've done this diet before I had terrible wind pains btw

 

[BandedHun]

Sorry adrienne I missed that first comment, right I'm a total yo yo dieter all my life and it's progressively getting worse,

I'm five foot nine/ten and 15st10

Never ever been above 15 in my life accept when I had my child and this is just out of control

I love my portions, I eat plates full, and not cr@p all the time either . I love fruit and veggies and good food not processed rubbish but I also emotionally eat when I'm overweight only and that's through hating myself so ill binge on fast food and sugar stuff in massive quantities but I run and do well when I'm weighing less. This weight is restricting me massively I'm just hiding away not bothering with my hair makeup I live in stretchy legging and large jumpers.

I buy size 22/24 tops ( I'm possibly only an 18) but I can't bare tight clothes, I'm inbetween an 16-18 in bottoms ( so a 17 if they made middle sizes)

Hope this helps xxx

The pre op diet or the designed one for lower weights?


Have you had surgery then babe? Or looking ? Booked etc?


You sound similar to me, have to exercise to keep weight down but it's gotten to an unmanageable stage, I mean for me I'm so depressed at the moment, I feel so hopeless, like this is my life and when I'm "on it" I'm "on it " and then ill got put all the weight back on and bam off she goes again into 2015 and beyond doing the same till I eventually end up in a box! ...lol

Its time for me now, enough's enough, I need to get busy living not dying' xx

 

[adrienne]

You could be me !!!!
I am really active I love fresh veg fish and fruit i also love a good time, meals out, vodka !
I love cheese and I hate my body !!! I was almost 16 stone I'm just over 15 now
Surgery is this Saturday!!!
My diet this week is basically low far low carb chicken n veg or fish n veg fruit low fat yogurt no alcohol no fizzy drinks

After surgery I am on liquids for 4 weeks ! Yikes!! It has to be worth it
I'm both nervous and excited

 

[adrienne]

My last reply has disappears !! Can you see it ?

 

[adrienne]

Found it ! Duh

 

[adrienne]

I binge too on rubbish when I feel down

 

[BandedHun]

Wow so we are both having bands this Saturday?

Yes I can see all your replies sweet.

Where you going for it and under what surgeon!

Yes we have the same story! Crazy huh. When I hate myself the foods there and it has to stop. I figured if my portions were not massive then I wouldn't rely on it and if I can reach the satiety level then I'm never going to be able to over eat excessive cals again .... ?!?

I'm prepared to work because I have in the past :-d
