Day one of pre-op diet
Apr 26, 2010
Yesterday was day one. I don't have to do liquids, only the pre-packaged things they sell. They are designed to be high protein and low residue so no bowel prep. We are allowed 800-900 calories per day of that stuff, and only s.f. popsicles, tea, CL, etc. no milk, yogurt, other food. I didn't die, but was barely satisfied. No biggie. I am very hungry now because I've been up since I've been up since 2. There is really nothing I can have without going over the calorie limit so I'm toughing it out. Like Judith Beck says in her book, "hunger is not a life threatening emergency". I go back in 2 days to get weighed again, they expect us to have lost. Also to see the PA, and to pick up post-op food. Now THAT is liquid, with clears the first 2 weeks.
OK, so nobody has ever actually died from it but I'm sure there were some pretty close calls! I could be the first.
