cheating on pre-op liquid diet
My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday (YAY!) but I am finding it so difficult to follow liquid diet. I feel like it's my last time getting to eat real food. I will have one shake and one real meal or just one meal per day so I am staying under 1000 calories. I have lost about 10 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks but am stressing myself out-which makes me want to eat! Am I really screwing things up..? I did great for first week.
I had a physician's protein shakes and the only two I liked were vanilla and chocolate and I had to blend them with ice in the blender. everyday I literally was 300 400 calories below what I was supposed to have. I am 5 days post op and right now I am just having issues with bowel movements. I would say as long as you stick to your diet 90 percent of the time you will be absolutely fine I had no complicationS in my surgery It went great and I snuck cottage cheese some vegetable soup and carrots and cucumbers. no worries you'll be Good.
