Default 3 Day Fast

Wow I can't believe it-I'm having surgery on Tuesday. It is really here. I am starting my 3 day fast today. I am feeling a little obsessive about food. Is this normal??? All I keep thinking is I should have had a last piece of pie, steak, ice cream etc... I think I will go for a walk to take my mind off of it

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It was normal for me, but I started mine early. And mine was a 2 week liquid diet. You can do it. Just get your mind ready for teh surgery. That was the hard part for me!

I felt the same way. I wish i would have had more pizza or ice cream. The day you go to the hospital you wont be thinking of that anymore, at least i did not.
Good luck with surgery i will be thinking of you

I was on a 10 day clear liquid diet before surgery. And just so happens that the day before I started it I came down with strep!!! I was so sad because I didn't get to have a "last dinner". But...I got over it. lol Good luck to you, you can do it. What kept me motivated was the "fear" of the surgery. I wanted to make SURE that I did everything I was suppose to, to enable me to stay free from "self made" complications. I had to stop smoking also. And I was sooo scared, that I didn't cheat once!

you're definitely not alone. i didnt have a liquid diet at all but there are PLENTY of people on here who did and were successful and you will be too. the first day is tough from what i understand, but once you get past it, you're almost there. you can do it!!!

You can do it! I had a liquid diet and thought I would never eat real food again. Now (a month later) I don't even think about eating the way I used to. Now when I eat I really enjoy the taste and texture of the food. i don't miss the things I used to eat. The anxiety is normal just keep reminding yourself of how great you will feel after the surgery. Keep us updated on your success!!!!
