Pre-Op Diet, what has your doctor said?



Recommended Posts

I was looking on here about a week ago, I saw that there was a chart from someone for Kaiser's Pre Op diet. I can't seem to find it and I was wondering if anyone had it or had anything else from their doctor that I can show my mom and dad? I didn't get a very detailed one from my doc.

doctors all have different ways they do the preop diet. I had one friend who had to fast 24 hours before the surgery but prior to that she could eat what she wanted. My doctor was totally different. He had me do a clear liquid diet for 7 days prior to the surgery so my organs would shrink (the liver) and make the surgery easier. After the 3rd day of clear fluids it was no big deal. After the surgery you still on the same clear fluids. The second week post op your on full fluids so really you spend about 3 weeks on fluids pre and post op. I dropped 40 lbs in those 3 weeks. There is no really set way but all up to the doctor and what makes him comfortable.

My sugeron has a wonderful disk about pre and post op information. I am trying to attach it for you but it won't let me, if you will give me your email address I will be glad to email you the info.

Hi there, I have attached the Kaiser pre-op meal plan. It has really worked for me, but you have to really stick with it and weigh /measure everything.

Good luck!

How are you doing after surgery the other day??? Tell me all about it. Yes, I asked my Doc for information about after the surgery as I wanted to see (actually start) how I would have to eat before and after. So he gave me the after surgery disc they have. I printed it out and have in a 3 ring binder. It is very helpful and is allowing me time to get my head around the life change. It is a big change but one well worth the effort and time!!!! If I could just get motivated to excercise, that would be better. Still working on that. Hope you are recovering well, keep me posted...

      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.
