Getting Sleeved On 24Th July



Recommended Posts

Today is day 1 of my 2 week pre-op diet. How ridiculous do I feel that I want to jump into a bucket of chicken and eat my way out. I can't see how I will get through another 13 days!!!! Eeekkk

LMAO!!! Too funny! :lol:

Don't worry. Yes, it is rough. But you'll make it through. If I did, you will too. Every day I was dreaming of macaroni and cheese with chicken. I'm glad to be on the other side. Hang in there!

And stay out of the chicken buckets!!! LOL!

I am on the pre-op diet as well. It is HORRIFIC!!! I wish I could get the surgery like NOW just to get off this terrible diet. Last night I cheated with a salad and said the hell with it! I just find this diet to be super ridiculous. My dr said I didn't have to do an entire 14days. He said 8-10days was fine and that I didn't have to do it exactly. According to him, the last 4-5 days are the most crucial. Either way I am still trying to finish strong and not cheat for the rest of the time I'm on this diet. Today is day 4 for me 6 more days to go and I can't wait!! Hang in there. If it makes you feel any better...You're not alone :wub: !

Well day 1 is over for me. I'm not sure where everyone is from on here. But I am Melbourne, Australia. I have banned fresh bread from the house as that is something I know I struggle with, and until I get a handle on this, it's easier to avoid. Thanks for your support everyone x

I'm on a mix of optifast/optislim the dietician didn't mind which one. I can also do 1 cup of veg or salad per day and 1 Protein. I cannot stomach the optislim Soup, even the smell is too much for me. I don't mind the shakes and the bars. I am also not used to the sound of my stomach growling. It's normally too full of food. Lollll

      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.
