Day 1 Of Pre Opdiet. So Hungry!!

[Joy1961 134]

The shakes are only 100 cal. Im starving. Muscle Milk lite. It was one if the ones on the list.

Really:(. Guess this is how it will be after surgery. This is hard. Surgery 10/10

How much Protein do they have? I am using the Adkins advantage and they are 15 grams of protein and so far are filling me up.

[wildrose1966 396]

How many shakes are you having and is that the only thing you are having?? 100 calories doesn't seem like much.

SF Jell-o was my best friend during pre-op

My dr wont approve Atkins shakes for some reason. Im eating one meal and 2 shakes. Not supposed to have Snacks either. Dont want to sound like a baby but im so hungry i feel awful

[wildrose1966 396]

Did your dr recommend the 100 calorie Muscle Milk? I am no expert but that just doesn't seem like enough nutrition. I was on 4 shakes a day - 225 cal each w 23g of Protein, that was pretty much it, 1 fruit, 1 veggie, so close to about 1000cal day in pre op.

I would call your dr's office just to reconfirm that these shakes are appropriate.

Having said that, I was hungry for about 3 days, then it just goes away..........day 1-2 were the hardest.

im on the pre-op liquid diet now also...my surgery is oct5....one thing that has been helping a lot? low sodium chicken broth....ive stocked up on it...1 lg can has only 30-40 calories and i heat up the whole can and drink it in a mug.....it makes 3 mugs and im full afterwards!!

will pee a lot in the 1st hr....but u will be full...lol

hope i helped

the SF Jello sounds like a good idea

[prinxs 41]

I enjoyed sugar free Popsicles! Just hang in there... It's tough but after few days it will get better. It will be here before you know it.

Most surgeons want you on a low cal, low carb, low fat, high Protein Shake. I recommend premier nutrition drinks.< /p>

Make sure to drink lots of Water too, this will help you feel full.

Day 3 for me and i have to say today has been easier. Its hard but i figure it prepares me for how it will be right after surgery

Currently on day 7 on the preop liquid diet. I am just eating alot SF Jello and beef broth. I found a drink at 7-11 yesterday called Protein Rush. Tastes great and has 40 grams of protein with 240 calories. I've drank two today so far along with some SF Jello and feel real satisfied. I am amazed on what my body is content with versus what I thought it would need, hence my weight problem. I try not to think to ahead with the possibility of getting discouraged of not being able to stay liquid the whole two weeks.
