Pre Opt Diet And Snow Cone



Recommended Posts

I start my pre opt diet on Thursday this week. We are going to the famers market on Saturday. I was wondering if i can get a snow cone while i am there.

There are actually sugar free flavors in snocones these days. Opt for one of those. Most of us were/are allowed sf popcicles and Jello, so it would make sense.

m post op and went for one this past week. I bought a small which I didn't even make a dent in but it satisfied so much. At ours, you can buy just the ice and no flavoring too.

Bring some Mio and get a plain sugar-free snow cone. The sugar in the regular would probably make a bit of an impact on your carbs.

What's a health-conscious person supposed to eat at events like these? I've always assumed that Snow Cones were the closest thing to being a dieter's friend, since they're mostly just ice. My body is working so hard to warm up that ice in my stomach, it's probably burning almost as many calories as the Snow Cone contains, right?

Well, that's not quite true. How many calories do you think are in an average 12 oz Snow Cone?

A) 75 calories

B) 150 calories

C) 300 calories

D) 550 calories

The correct answer is D) 550 calories!

That's an average amount, assuming the person making your Snow Cone is generous as they usually are with the Syrup. Each ounce of syrup contains almost 100 calories! Realize all 550 calories is carbs.

      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.
