I Am On My 1St Day Of Pre-Op Diet!



Recommended Posts

I recently found the Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder, and had it overnighted. This has been a godsend! Instead of being really thick, it's just slightly thicker than Water. If you've ever had Sunny D, I would say that's a good comparison as far as consistency.

Well, if this can be a bit of a motivator, after 8 days of pre-op liquid only diet, I fit into a pair of jeans I have not worn since 2007. I can't tell you how much I lost since i don't own a scale, and still on the fence about getting one, but wow! super impressed with my will power. Keep it up guys!! this is bringing us closer to our dreams. :rolleyes:

See! You had it in you all the time! I wore a skirt today that I haven't worn in 8 months. The back would ride up because of my big *$s. SO HAPPY!

Good luck to all of you just starting your journey. It's hard in the beginning, but really helps prepare you for whats to come and also the weight loss is a big incentive. I had surgery end of June this year and I've lost 40+ lbs and it feels amazing. I feel and look so much better already! I didn't think I would make it in the beginning, but decided to follow the rules and not cheat. I still eat mostly all Protein, no bread or Pasta. It's becoming routine now and I just don't have as much desire to eat the junk food. The scar on my belly is a forever reminder to stay on course. Hope your surgery goes well and your journey is successful.

      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.
