Starting my pre-op diet today!!!!

[JenniLee0628 3]

I am so excited and it is all becoming very real! Today I am starting my 2 week pre-op diet! Any suggestions or motivations for the next 2 weeks other than this will lead to surgery which will lead to a healthier lifestyle?

I'm in the same boat with you, I started my pre-op Monday 9/19 and will have surgery 10/1. The first day wasn't bad, but not sure if I am eating correctly. Here is what I had that day.

Breakfast - Protein shake with 1 cup strawberries

lunch - Protein Shake with 1 cup strawberries

dinner - cup with steak, chicken sausage mixture.

snack - 100 calorie count Ritz Snack

- 60 calorie pudding

I was not required to diet two weeks pre op but doing it to help with next week with liquid diet. What are you eating?

4 Protein shakes from the doctor ( I have to get in at least 60g a day)

1 cup of salad with 2 tbsp of fat free dressing (once a day)

1 cup of Soup ( veggie, Tomato, 98%fat free cream soups) (once a day)

1 cup sugar free Jello and pudding - (once a day)

You guys are lucky you get actual food with your pre-op diet. Mine consists of 4 Protein Shakes per day with all of the SF drinks and Jello or popsicles you can eat/drink. I have 6 days left on this and my advice would be read a book or find a hobby that will keep your hands occupied so you aren't looking for something to do with them. For me that would usually mean finding a snack . Good luck and the 2 weeks does fly by!

I start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow. My doctor is having me do Medifast during this time, but I can supplement with sugarfree Jello & popsickles and all the Crystal Light, Diet Soda and Water I want.

Good luck to all!

Exciting!!!

I'm going to Aceves and he only requires a low carb diet for a week and only if you're over BMI 40. I'm going to do it anyway though, so I'll feel better on our trip to MX. I'm going to start a week from today!
