Day 3 of my 2 week no food (Jelly and Soup) pre op Liver Diet
Hi All,
Here we are the end of day 3 on my no food "Jelly and Soup pre operative (Gastric Bypass) liver shrinking diet".
The days just seem to be getting harder and harder, all day I have wanted to eat, but I have managed to resist it. I'm only 3 days in out of 14 before my operation and I'm not sure I will last.
On Wed I have to go back to the Hospital in Macclesfield which will be my last time before I have the surgery, so that visit may help me a bit after I have talked to the bariatric nurses and been weighed, to see if this is helping at all.
Tomorrow (Monday#) I have an 11.30am appointment with my GP nurse for Vitamin B12 injection, and I have been told by reception to ask about my last blood tests as something has shown up. probably be my thyroid again, as it keeps showing up wrong, but they don't do anything about it.
any way, below is today's lack of food, and drinks diary, not been as bad as it could have been with the feelings, but my belly is starting to hurt a bit right now, I'm just not sure if this is because of the not eating, or if its the vitamins I'm taking. Last night was not a very good night in bed, I kept waking up in the night with pains in my belly, and most of the day I have had a "pressure" feeling in my head, not a headache but just a feeling there. Hopefully tonight's sleep may be better, fingers crossed.
Today's food (well drinks) I have had are detailed below...
Day 3 = Sunday
9.45am = Get up
Had some pains in the night, I think with my stomach rumbling,
although not sure, feel ok now though, apart from a weird feeling in my
head, not a headache but feels like pressure in my head and
behind my eyes.
Lots of running around today (starting with finding a card and
gift for dad) so hopefully keep me busy and away from food

11.15am = 100ml Apple Juice
While out = 250ml strawberry flavour water
1.45pm = Cup of Lamb Oxo Drink & 1x 330lm Jelly

to have any all day)

FEEL FREE TO KEEP UP ON MY DAILY INTAKES HERE
Right so I'm now off to bed again, hoping I can sleep and get this operation out of my head for a bit, For the next 2 weeks I will be back to doing daily diary's here on MarkCrook.co.uk so keep checking back to see how I do, what I don't eat, and how I'm coping with the worry of the Gastric By-Pass operation (3rd July)
