I am doing well. I am down 12 pounds, I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time.
The pre-op diet is the easy part! I have found some creative ways to get the nutrients I need and not be super bored with the process.
Thank you so much for asking
I am having my surgery in Tijuana that is why the pre op is the way it is. Post op it is two week clear liquids, one week of full liquids, then puree, and then it slowly progresses to more solid food.
I am not doing a 2 week liquid diet, I do a very low calorie diet for 2 weeks and 3 days clear liquid before surgery. I am having my surgery in Tijuana so maybe that is the difference.
In the US they have very strict guidelines they have to follow.
January 7th here.
I plan on starting my pre-op diet next week just to give myself a chance for mistakes. (I know I am a terrible dieter).
Here is my pre-op diet:
two to three protein shakes, 6 oz. of a lean protein for females
big green salads
non-starchy vegetables
sugar free Jell-O’s
sugar free popsicles
broths
zero calories waters teas, coffee. You can mix and match and have these things any time of the day!
Seems so simple LOL I know it won't be!
Hi Everyone! I just confirmed my date for January 7th.
I too am excited and nervous, but super ready for the next chapter.
I have been heavy my entire life and I am over it!
Good luck everyone.
