Gaining Weight On Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

WTF! I am on the pre-op diet to shrink my liver and have gained a pound. How is this possible when I am not eating crap. Could the fact I have eaten more Protein than I usually would be the issue? I already have low BMI 30, should I stop the pre-op diet? My surgery is Monday.

Im sorry, I know this isnt answering your question but, your bmi is only 30??? Wow! I would love for my bmi to be 30.

But lets see if I can help. I think if you're following your diet, you'll be ok. Don't get discouraged. We all went and go through ups and downs on the scale. Just keep doing what you're doing. You'll be fine.

Yes Vampsy, BMI of 30. I have about 40 pounds to lose. Lose being the main word...not gain. Maybe it is just Water weight.

you shouldn't be thinking about the scale now... just do what you're suppose to do. One pound could be Water weight. It's more important to shirk your liver so it can be out of the way for surgery.

Good advice msoper, I think I will put the scale away. Out of sight out of mind, hopefully.

Where are you having your surgery? With only 40 pounds to lose you should be at target pretty quick after surgery.

      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.
