First Day Of The New Journey!

[prinxs 41]

Today is the day I start my 2 weeks of liquid pre-op diet! I decided to go with Bariatric Advantage because of the higher Protein level. I have to have 3 Protein shakes a day, and I can 3 Snacks i.e. sugar free Jello, sugar free poosicle, crystal light, and propel.

What did you guys do to make this work easier and succeed in your pre-op diet?

Sounds good. Seems every diet is a bit different here from what I read. I start my pre op diet next Monday, and I pre bought my food at my nutrition class. Here is my daily intake for 7 days.

Hot chocolate with coffee mixed

oatmeal for Breakfast

Protein bar snack

Chili pack Soup

Rice and chicken Soup pack

I have two more soup Snacks left for the day if I need them they said. So basically 6 to 7 small meals a day.

Followed it to a T . Because this is the begining of a journey that ended the battle I admited I could not win on my own.. And my Dr said FAT LIVER you lose I will close you right back up..... And no way could I face my wonderful supportive husband with yet one more weight loss fiasco............You gotta want it , more then you want the little party in your mouth .

i am day two out of surgery. did Bariatric Advantage as well.... your surgeons diet was the same as mine..... there are so many different pre op diets out there..

i had to tell myself "its just food" and the truth is, the diet gets easier after day 2 or 3. hang in there!

Like previously stated, follow your Dr's preop to a t. Just a few weeks ago a woman who lost 15-20 pre surgery was closed back up because she chose to do her own diet and didn't follow the liver shrink diet and her liver was still too large.

I am going to have to use that as a mantra: FAT liver and the dr will close me up." thank you for the tip...no more parties in my mouth.

I am starving btw!

Thank you! What worked best for you to avoid hunger between shakes?
