So what is the post-surgery diet like from Curry?

The pre-surgery diet from curry is either 1-4 weeks depending on your BMI. Mine was 2 weeks of Medifast. Honestly, I found those 2 weeks the most difficult because my body was going through detox and I was so hungry. But, I lost 14 lbs., so that keeps you motivated. Drink lots of water!

lol..I just noticed I said pre-opt and I meant post-opt. I still get confused with wording things!!

Post op for me was 1 week of Clear Liquids, broth, shakes and the like. Then after you get your 1st checkup then to puree for 3 weeks, then soft foods. Puree is anything you can blend up into baby food consistancy. soft foods are pretty much anything you can "mash" with a fork where the food comes thru the tins of the fork, so like salisbury steak in small bites, soft meatloaf, chicken in a crock pot with cream of chicken Soup, stuff like that. Remember Protein first 60-80 grams a day, 20-40 carbs a day and 64 oz of liquids a day. Good Luck

Thought I would update. Surgery is set for April 8th one month from today. I start my pre-opt diet Sunday. I have to do 4 weeks. I also have to lose 20 lbs. I'm worried I won't. That's 5 lbs a week. I've been on the 2 and 3 diet for 3 months lost 60 lbs. I'm hoping I will lose this next 20.

Hey everyone on here. I'm in southeastern IN, but I'll be going to Cincy for my surgery with Dr. Brad Watkins. I'm nervous, and will probably have to wait for six months to do a doctor approved diet thing, but that's okay. Deep inside I know this is what I need to do, but who wants to think about what's going to be done! Not me, I'm a nurse! I do my level best not to even think about what happens during the procedure as it will just make me crazy going over the details!

Hello healthygal,

I'm scheduled for surgery jan 22, with same doctor. Excited, anxious & nervous to say the least. Pushing through my 2 week pre op liquid fast. I have 4 kids and am a stay at home mama, so it is far from easy!! Just wanted to reach out to you and others getting sleeved (or other surgeries!) & shout out good luck! ;)

      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.
