    What is your pre-op diet?

    pre op diet for 3.5 weeks and its 5 shakes a day with a lunch and dinner meal of something like a weight watchers frozen meal. veggies like broccoli and cuccumber I can eat for snacks thru out my day one piece of fruit like a banana small orange (cutie) or a small apple. drink 64oz of water or crystal light, unsweetened Tea. I can make my own meals with 8oz of fish or chicken with 1/2 cup of veggies or a salad which is primarily no high calorie add ons like bacon bits or eggs cheese.
  11. clothes is a given with our surgeries for me its being able to play with my nieces and nephews without feeling like I am going to pass out swimming and getting back to the life I had before I put on this amount of weight when I was in my mid to late 20s I was an active person played sports I would love to go hiking and camping again.

    Pre-surgery diet

    I am in my pre op diet now and I was put on a 5 shakes a day with two small meals for lunch and dinner with as much broccoli and veggies I can eat (except corn, peas, potatoes) so I pretty much snack on one small cuccumber with nothing added as a snack thru out the day.

    Pre-opt liquid diet

    I am on day 2 of my 4 week pre op liquid diet and although I am hungry I am trying to keep my mind busy with things and just trying to remember the goal at hand and stay positive. I am lucky I have a great group of family and friends to help me get thru this. I have to have 5 shakes a day with two meals lunch and dinner so honestly it does not seem that bad to me. I have the mentality that so far I am in the adjustment period of the diet and once I get past that period of the diet things will get easier and more manageable
