Pre Op Diet Starts Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I start my 10 day liquid diet. I'm prepared have my Jello setting in the fridge, Protein shakes ready and veggies and fruit proportioned out. Surgery on 9/11, and I can't wait. I'm anxious to finally see what people have always said. ” if I lost weight id be gorgeous”. Bring it on, I'm ready to be all that I can

Congrats on the decision. The first 2 days are hard but if you keep sipping diet tea and eating the recommended veggies 1-2 times a day you can get through it. I asked my doctor and he said lime juice, hot sauce etc are fine so I used that instead of calorie free dressing that I did not like.

I wish I had tried chicken and veggie broth sooner than the clear liquid only day before surgery. If your doctor allows, that is a good option if you get tired of sweet shakes.

I start mine on Sunday..........still in denial until I have that first shake........then decisions will be easy, vanilla or chocolate shake. I get 1 serving of fruit and 1 of veggies a day.......I think carrots might be my friend, I can imagine I may want the crunch and chew.....who knows. I have heard everything how to make the shakes taste better, less Water = pudding, more ice=shake, cold is better. I may even add my serving of fruit in there for a change up. I can also have sf popsicles and sf Jello in moderation (not every day). good luck

      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.
