Day 7 Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

I am hitting day 7 of a 21 day pre-op diet and not to bad so far. Of course the Doc hit me with a 3 week liver shrink instead of 2 because I am a big ole boy. Down 30 lbs so far with 2 more weeks to go before surgery. I had been reducing my food intake for the last 2 weeks before I started so it would not be such a shock. The Doc has allowed me a small dinner and even a yogurt if wanted per day. But so far have been following a more disciplined attack 2 to 3 Protein Drinks a day and a hot meal of fresh or canned spinach for dinner to feel good. Oh yeah the Unjury chicken Soup has helped to comfort as I found it to be very salty.

Well, 14 more days to go and as long as I stay this route I am hoping all goes well.

Unjury chicken flavor warning. Well the label did say not to get the Water to hot and boy were they right. Every other evening I have been having this as a treat because of the salty chicken flavor. Tonight the water must have been a wee bit hot because when I added the powder it would not mix right and then I ended up with a solid rubber ball. Flat out weird, and we drink this. :P

      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.
