Stressed About Business Lunch



Recommended Posts

Please Help,

I'm on day 3 of pre-op diet and doing well. I have to take clients to lunch today. I can't not have something as that will appear weird. Do you think it's ok to have a salad with chicken and. Fat free dressing? I'm having surgery 11/28.

What kind of pre-op diet are you on? My doctor doesn't do all liquid pre-op, so that would be fine for me...but if your's does, maybe a broth based Soup?

Definitely depends on your doctor's pre-op diet. My doctor allowed me to eat Protein and a vegetable (one meal a day and Protein Drinks the others). But if only liquids, then try going w/ a Soup.< /p>

I'm allowed to have 4 oz of meat and 1/2 cup veggies per day. I think I would either do a chicken breast with a side of veggies or order a bowl of Soup and drink the broth? I'm on day 2. Have you guys had the headaches start yet?

I'm on 800-1000 calories per day. shakes, broths, SF Jello but I can have 2oz of chicken or yogurt, cottage cheese and 2 cups of raw veggies. I think I'll be fine.

      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.
