Day before Surgery



Recommended Posts

This is the day before sugery and I'm ready for it to be over and ready to eat real food !! I think my sense of smell has intensified since I started this liquid diet... I can ride down the road and smell what the restraunts are cooking!

God lick tomorrow. Just remember after surgery to take it slowly and follow your doctor's instructions.

Now begins the real work. I'm sure you know you're going to have six weeks of clear liquid,

full liquids and then mushies. Then you can eat regular food, cut into fingernail sized pieces.

Nothing easy about this trip, bud. But then you'll begin to get fills, and depending on your will

power, the weight loss really begins. Some folks loose through the whole process, but that

really takes gumption. You don't really have to go hungry if you can be a little creative.

There are recipes on this site and a bunch on Google to make this time a little less boring.

The real problem is that you can't just grab a hunk of cheese or a donut whenever you

want and still lose weight. It's going to be Protein Drinks, Crystal light, chicken Boullion,and

and things like that. If I can give up pizza and beer, you can too. It really isn't too bad, it

just seems so while you're going through it. A lot of people set small goals, then another

and so on and in a year or so they'll be down 100 lbs or so. Make up your mind to succeed,

and you will.

      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.
