Day 2 Pre-op Diet, No Biggie



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm starting on day 2 of my pre-op diet and it is tolerable. Sure I was hungry, but isn't that the point? I went to Health food Unlimited and bought a variety of whey Protein isolate samples to see what is the best. I did buy a packet of Cookies and Creme Protein powder from GNC, made up a drink yesterday for supper and it wasn't that bad. Ok, the truth is if I didn't have to drink it, I wouldn't but that is where I am right now, so I'll just deal with it. I'm keeping a journal that lists all of the stuff I'm eating and its nutritional content, focusing on Protein. Yesterday I made it to 55g. of protein, the doctor said 60-70 grams a day, I think I'll put an extra Greek yogurt into the day and I would make the goal.

How are you all doing on your pre-op diets?

Im a month post op but I didnt like my pre op. The shakes were yucky for me. That goodness I was able to eat a small me too. 800 Cal total. My pre op was during the 4th of july and all the summer BBQS it was tough but lost a few pounds. I also worked out. I haven't been able to work out since surgery but I go for a fill today and should be cleared as im not in pain. Good luck on surgery.

I am on day 2 tomorrow. Today was ok until the afternoon. I felt exhausted and took a 2 hr nap. My cravings weren't horrible and I tolerated a friend eating chicken tenders/fries. Pretty sure my mouth watered though lol. Every day brings me one step closer. We can do it.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
