Hey everyone I am off track on dieting and losing weight and need to get back on track. I have heard that some people go back on the 2 week pre op diet to get themselfs back on track.

Have you tried this?

Did it get you back on track/

Did you lose weight? if so how much?

Just trying to figure out if this is what I need to do.

Thanks!

I'd suggest two days of liquids, two days of soft foods, two days of mushies, then ween yourself back to eating full servings. And measure everything to keep your intake around 1.0-1.5 c per meal (depending what you're eating - 1.5 c of Soup may be perfect but 1.5 c of Pasta may be too much).

And track your food on paper or online (fitbit.com / thedailyplate.com / sparkpeople.com). You may be surprised what and how much you're eating.

Going back to where you started will get you back on track because it will help shrink your stomach a little bit and will make you mindful of what you're eating again.

Some people do the 5 day pouch test to get back on track. The first time I did it I lost 3kg.

I do it to get back on track, get rid of my cravings and see how my pouch is doing.

      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.
