Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

How much did you lose on the Pre Op Diet? How much did you exercise? I'm just worried that I won't lose the required weight (10lbs) I'm definitely following the diet (2 shakes, then one meal of 6oz lean meat and 2 cups veggies) but I'm not able to get much exercise other than chasing my almost 3 year old because of my knees!

I don't have a date yet. True Results wanted me to go ahead and start it. I'll know more on Tuesday. But I'm using Dr. Reilly in Houston, Texas.

I was just banded yesterday by Dr. Fox in Dallas. Doing fine except for the trapped gas from the surgery. It's been brutal.

I lost 14 lbs on my pre-op diet. I was only allowed liquids for 2 weeks. Protein Shakes, broth, sf Jello and sf Popsicles. Yep...it was hard!!

Drink as much Water as you can. It really does help to curb the hunger. Make sure you drink all your Protein shakes too. The Protein keeps the hunger at bay a bit. :)

      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.
