Suggestions for Pre & Post Op liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am set to start my liquid pre op diet either this Thursday or Next Thursday and i have my list of approved items that my dietician gave me for the two weeks of fasting. Only thing is that i have not had hardly any of these items in the past so i have no idea how good or gross they are. Do any of you remember what you preffered during your fasting session? I have heard good things about the Protein Shakes and that sounds like my best bet because i have taken plaenty of those before in the past. I am just curious if there is something that i can have that a lot of other people have enjoyed to make those two weeks seem less miserable.

Thanks!!

Nick

I am on day 4 and I find Protein Shakes gross. However, they stop the hunger so I guzzle them down and then eat something just after. I love my cottage cheese and yogurt and would probably be suffering more if I couldn't have those. The Carnation Instant Breakfast (sugar free, blue box) is very good, like chocolate milk, but doesn't control the hunger as long as the Protein shakes do. So when the hunger gets bad and I'm tempted to cheat (I haven't yet!!) then I guzzle down one of those awful protein shakes and wait for 20 min. So far this is working well for me as I haven't even really been tempted by the food. It's not nearly as hard as I was expecting it to be.

I did a lot of low sodium broth and cream of chicken Soup, though I got sick of it easily. I mustered up my strength to drink my Protein Shakes though I hated the smell and taste. If Protein shakes don't bother you look around for some Protein Shake recipes, there are some great ones out there! Torani sugar free Syrup is a great way to add some extra flavor to them.

Nowadays as I workout more I need more protein so I've been drinking RTD protein shakes. My favorite at muscle milk light and labrada lean body on the go. Both are low carb, low sugar, and high in protein.

      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.
