Made it thru Eater dinner!!



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 4 of liquid preop diet. Mom's Easter dinner smelled divine but I held firm. I want that liver in tip top shape for Thursday, so no ham today. Thankfully it wasn't Thanksgiving or Christmas! Lol Sitting in church before it began I was just thinking how differently I will look and feel next Easter...not to mention Thanksgiving and Christmas. :-) My parents are so excited for me, so that's good news. My sister, who has the band, is both excited and a little jealous of the sleeve.

So...I guess I made it thru my first mini-challenge! Yay!!

SpiceyMom-

Thank you so much for that typo. I had my first all-out, horrible eating day and seeing Eater dinner while I was beating myself up made it seem hilarious for some reason. Thanks for that!

And, a big congratualions on making it through the meal! I didn't have to do liquids before surgery, but I am sure that was a monstrous feat. In hindsight, I think a liquid diet pre-op would have been great preparation for surgery, I actually think I missed a great opportunity. Maybe this opinion from the "other side" of surgery will make your shake taste just a little bit better tomorrow. :)

      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.
