Day 2 of the preop diet blues....



Recommended Posts

One day down, 13 more to go. Actually I am cheating already....I am out of town on business and "assumed" I would be able to get the two Protein drinks I like at the GNC here. Dontcha know they were out of both of them. I sm supposed to be doing 2-3 low carb shakes and 1 small low carb, low fat meal. So, I have been doing all low carb low fat meals. Luckily I go home today and have all of my shakes and food ready and waiting. This is gonna be a long two weeks! I gave found that crushed ice is my best friend. If I can crunch on that all day I am ok. Glad I am working at a hospital cuz they have the BEST ice! Gotta look for the rainbow in every storm!

Have a great and inspiring day all!

Hiya

Good luck with the rest of it - I start mine on Thursday, and luckily only have a week, but its all liquids.< /p>

The only plan I have for mine is to get out of the house with the dog when the food urges take me, and read thru my list of all the reasons why I want the surgery done, and how being in tip top health going into it will help me....I can't fail this one having failed every other dieting attempt over the last 22 yrs!!

day three of the pre-op diet here (doc wants three weeks of the pre-op liquid).

Its no party but I just get through it. I've gotten used to carrying around two Siggs - one full of Water & the other full of chicken broth. throw in a couple of organic soy Protein shakes (zero sugars) and that's the day. I've been sitting right at 80g Protein & 800-900 calories for the day.

      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.
