January 16...haven't been told of pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

I am reading a lot of stuff about the pre-op diet. I have met with a nutritionist a couple of times but haven't been advised of a specific diet I need to follow. My next and last visit with my doctor before surgery on the 16th is the 8th. I guess I will be advised of anything then. Meanwhile I have been eating horribly because I feel like it is my last chance to eat all of the foods that I "love." It is those foods that got me this way though, so I really hope this is my farewell party.

We all go through the same thing! I ate like a piglet the days prior to the start of 2 week liquid diet! It's l mental, a coping mechanism I guess! On my last visit to the doctor prior to surgery, I started the liquids!

Glad to hear that, I was starting to feel like everyone has more willpower than I do. I am really praying that I can make the lifestyle changes I need to in order to make this work.

I actually had one doctor tell me to loose weight or he would cancel the surgery with no details on what to do. I dropped him.

Dr Ali put me on a 2 week liquid diet. He wanted there to be suficient room while he was in there and she said that it would make the first week less difficult

      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.
