Weight Gain before Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Wondering if anyone gained weight prior to starting their Pre-Op Diet? I'm feeling so unmotivated, and have gained 2 lbs before the Pre-Op Diet. I'm supposed to begin the liquid diet this Friday, but have lost my motivation. Any thoughts

I started my journey last march from that point to my preop diet, I gained about 10lbs. I think I was taking advantage of eating things that I would have to give up post band. Unfortunately it's not a good thing, but I did enjoy it at the time.

LOL that makes sense so glad that I'm not alone. Well can't wait to get the show on the road. I'm feeling much more confident now that it's been approved. Now it's just a matter of scheduling the date with West Houston. Do you have any recommendations on shakes, I hate that "Diet" taste and looking for some insight on a good shake. Do you know if GMC is the place that lets you try them before you buy? Keep me updated on your progress. I'm so loving this site with all of the knowledge and people I've gotten to interact with so far.

      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.
