Pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I've only got until monday morning for my surgery (today is saturday evening), but i'm getting really tired of all the little dizzy spells.

shake = 160calories

drinking 3-5/day.

that equals 480-800 calories a day.

Any suggestions for my last pre-op day or for right after surgey, where i'm sure the calories will be cut down even more and the dizziness will be back?

You might want to stay away from other people eating and smells of food. The Bariatric Advantage brand is OK, but Unjury chocolate (no sucralose variety) with skim milk is like chocolate milk after it settles a minute or two after shaking. I've gotten burt out on the Bariatric Advantage chocolate. I've make it through 1 full big bag and about 2/3 of another one. Be sure if you buy another bag from online, they charge a 25% restocking fee. I think i'm gonna have to eat that one the extra bag i bought. I did buy a few bottles or singles which makes it easier for traveling. Just remember it will all be worth it. change things up some, because you've got 2 weeks after surgery also. Ohhh and sending out the secret hand shake here (day 2 you'll feel like hammered dog poo), expect it and it will get better from there. Once you get up and start walking it gets better, sitting in the chair makes all the difference as well as getting rid of the PCA pump and taking the lortab liquid (tastes like crap), but does wonders. If any other questions you can respond here or nocode3738@yahoo.com

my husband made a really nice chicken broth for us last night in the croc pot. He added a few mushrooms and celery and carrots to give it more flavor. Some nice spices and put it on low all day. It was a nice change when we got home to have something warm. :001_tongue:
