Help! Pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery Diet Is So Hard!



Recommended Posts

my mom sent me to my room while she cooked dinner. not only am i a prisoner in my own body but now my own home. i hope to feel better about not eating after surgery.

I think it is better that you are on such a strict diet before surgery. I only had to do two days of liquids. Saturday was full liquid, Sunday was only Clear Liquids. Then Monday (day of surgery) nothing... My surgery didn't start until 7:30 at night!! Coming home has been hard especially tonight with my family making one of my favorite dinners. I think that this prep work will make these things easier for you post op though.

idk.. i mean, maybe youre right but i think with such an appetite & the thought of not being able to do it later, it makes you want to JUMP on everything you see! lol. i think itll be a lil easier after. :/

      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.
