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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
