Start Pre Op Diet Today!



Recommended Posts

Sooooo, I start my pre op diet today. I have mixed feelings about it. I am excited because my surgery is in 3 days. Im nervous because my surgery is in 3 days. Worried that I will be tired and weak from only having Clear liquids and 1 Protein shake a day, at least tomorrow is my last day of work. I fly out Tues to head to Mexico and its all starting to become a reality! I dare say that I feel a little bit scared. I have thought of backing out a few times, but now I feel confident in my decision, but I am very nervous. Right now Im hungry!!!! . Going to do some gardening today, its beautiful out and Im trying to stay distracted...... and close to the toilet as I have to take a laxative today as well. Sounds like its going to be a fun day!!! lol. So glad I have this board for support!!! Thanks for listening.

Good luck to all of you! I think the pre-op liquid diet is the hardest part of this journey. You just have to keep your eye on the prize and know that this will be so worth it once the weight starts coming off and your health improves! :)

I've gained 20 pounds

unfortunately I went on a food Funeral for awhile before surgery, doctor didn't require pre-op diet. I also gained about 20 lbs.

if i had to do it over again, i would have made the wiser decision not to eat like the world would end tomorrow. Oh well, live and learn.

      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.
