Pre-Op Diet Starts Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I've had my food "funeral" and really went all out over the weekend. My one week out Atkins style diet starts in the morning. I've done Atkins in the past, so I'm ready for it. Will be in Mexicali with Dr. Aceves a week from Wednesday. Honestly I'm not near as nervous as my fiancé... I've actually had a few family members try to talk me outta of this (albeit all obese family members) so I was wondering... Those of you that decided to tell some people, how did that convo go? In my situation, the people that know me best knew that if I was at the point to tell them, the decision was made for good!

Over the weekend I was at my grandparents house having lunch with my fiancé. We never really talked about the surgery but talked about the time frame. I got up to go to the bathroom and my grandma gets all in my fiancés ear about me backing out. She said you know him, it ain't happening! I Love her, she knows me so well... It was all quiet when I returned to the kitchen table!

      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.
