Protiens 2 Weeks Before Surgery



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery in two weeks. I have not talked to my dr yet. Someone said I should go on a high protien low sugar diet. She said that would firm up my liver. Any advice?

My doc had me on the South Beach Supercharge Diet Phase 1. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I am 2 weeks post op, and they put me on that type of diet. I didn't lose any weight on it, but at least I was able to eat regular food instead of the liquid diet that I noticed a lot of people going on. I would wait and talk to your doctor tho, everyone is different, and he may want you to go on liquids for 2 weeks. Good luck to you!! :)

I will be having surgery April 16, 2012. I have to do a liquid diet for 10 days....the first 7 days regular liquids (low fat/low sugar) and the last 3 days Clear Liquids. Being on a diet like this helps to "shrink" the liver in order for the doctor to have more room to work with in doing the lapband. I had to attend a nutrition class a few weeks ago and it explained my pre-op and post-op diet plans. Surely, you will attend a nutrition class or your doctor will talk to you about your diet.

My surgery is on Monday and I am on a PreOp Diet that is low fat, low calories and a minimum of 60 grams of Protein a day. It has been hard in that I cheated yesterday but I have been doing okay. There are several individuals who don't do it but please talk with your doctor to see what they require.

I am right behind you on the 3rd. Only had to do two days of clear liquids. Trust me that was hard enough. Good luck to you.

      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.
