May Surgery Dates???



Recommended Posts

I start my pre op diet on Wednesday. Just wondering how everyone's mood is on the pre op liquid diet? I know for me on low calorie diets I get very angry and feel like crap after a few days.

FYI Tawnya, I have been a bear at times. But, one week into it now, and a little better. I was homicidal for a few minutes on Friday when I saw the pizza guy deliver a pizza next door!

I get vanilla Protein powder and use skim milk. I use 1 tbl spoon of sugar free fat free choc. pudding mix and shake it. It tastes just like choc milk. That's what I have been living on for 2 weeks. Also you can get PB2 if you like Peanut Butter and mix it in, and it tastes like a reeces Peanut Butter cup.

May 13. I start my pre op diet Monday. I have already waned my husband and coworkers I will probably be terrible to be around for that time.

I don't go to my dr until the 7th and ill try some of his shakes but since ill have a week on my own can anyone recommend any good shakes I could get at the store? Thanks good luck to all!

With everyone talking about their mood on the preop diet (and my own personal fear) I am beginning to believe that I did hide my feelings with food. Regardless of what the mood is...happy...mad...sad...I used food to either Celebrate or drown out those emotions.

Perhaps the key is journaling or letting someone know how I'm feeling. Even if its on here...better than eating that feeling. Congrats to those of you that are recognizing that they're feeling grouchy or that this is really hard...and for posting it on here.

I use Unjury (powder) shakes that you order on the internet. So far I hate the chocolate splendor (and I LOVE chocolate), the vanilla and strawberry aren't bad, but I like the unflavored mixed with crystal light the best. Good luck to you all!

Lol... I know I have been cranky several times and that's my q to take a nap. For the most part I feel better now. I still get a little emotional when certain foods are eaten around me and I know I can't have it. I totally can relate to you. I just hope after my surgery on May 1st that I don't feel so hungry, because it seems these last few days I have been feeling real hungry.

      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.
