Keeping with The Spoon Theory, I agree, it might not always be about will power, but more about energy. As someone dealing with mental health and physical health problems, it often comes down to energy. I only have so much each day and it's limited, so I have to be very careful as I decide how to spend it. If there is a chore that absolutely must get done, like laundry or something physically taxing, well that might mean that my half hour walk isn't going to happen that day as I only have so much to give. Saying it's a matter of will power makes it sound like not being able to do everything under the sun is a character flaw. Thinking in terms of energy... well, everyone only has so much, there's no fault there.
I really like the perspective of the pre-op diet as a prescription. I'm literally sitting here waiting for my endoscopy to further my process here in the states. The pre-op diet is super close in my future so this is some great perspective for me. Also, OMG I can't even imagine skipping stages post op, like you said, the guidelines are there for a freaking reason. It's so dangerous!
If doctors described the diet program as an Rx, it would resonate more. For me, I was always irked when people repeated that the Pre-Op diet was not meant for weight loss. Although true, it gave people permission to not stick to the diet. Some people also only required a couple weeks of pre-op and others took that as the universal recommendation for everyone.
I mean, ultimately it's up to each individual on whether or not they do what they're supposed to, I have no business trying to force people to do things lol. But I agree, I've always wished the conversation would look more like a prescription and discussion on what is really necessary for our health and not a shrugged off recommendation of ideas.
Oh man, right? I know so many people who hesitate to add food because they're nervous. I couldn't even imagine eating something solid that first couple weeks.
Very thoughtful insights into the reasons for pre- and post-operation food restrictions Eye opening segment on the person who ate an apple and ended up in the hospital. I absolutely agree to follow all your Doctors orders.

Thank you!!
I am so terrified of complications that I would rather not eat than eat something before I'm supposed to 🤣
