Anyone else do a Pre-Pre diet: and sodas



Recommended Posts

So I have to do a pre-pre diet first. My Dr. requires it. Mostly so he knows I am serious and I can follow the requirements of the preop and postop diets. Anyone else have to do this? I start my diet tomorrow. As long as I am at work I know that I will be ok. Its hard for me to eat as it is and I work 12 hour night shifts and so I can do them easily and then go home and go to bed. However I just work 3 days a week. HA I know if I stay busy I will be fine.

My biggest problem I have is I am lactose intolerant and have a problem with the shakes. I am going to mix them with Lactaid or Soy or rice milk. I am sure I will be fine but because of this my whole life I have had a problem with texture. I dont like pudding that much or Jello. I also dont like the shakes that much. I gag on them. Anyone else like this? Is there anyone who has tried the Unjury shakes. I have seen they have the preop diet shakes. But they are expensive. What other shakes are good.

ALSO: I am a big coke drinker. I am trying to cut back slowly so I dont have headaches. Anyone got any advice for me?

I know I have to stop drinking them. And this is motivation for me. I know they are not good for me and if I cant ever have them again I wont.

Do you drink the Isopure? I havent heard much about it. I think I will go to GNC tomorrow and get a few and try them. I can handle those. They are pretty pricey though.

As for the cokes I have done it before cold turkey and I quit them for 6 month. Not sure why or how I started them back. But He said he was worried about me having headaches and other problems making me sick. So I am going to try it and see what happens. If I get sick then I will maybe have tea or a half a coke or something.

Thanks for the info

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
