Dec 10th for me!!!! What things are you doing to prepare for surgery? Exercising' date=' reducing food intake, Protein shake trails or just eating whatever?[/quote']

Not much right now. I just found out today that I'll be having surgery on December 21, so I'm trying to wrap my mind around what I need to do first. I have a close friend that had the surgery nine months ago, so I could probably ask her what I should be doing but right now I have no idea.

I'm exercising, eating smaller portions, and getting my mind ready for the 2 week liquid diet by having full liquids one day a week and increasing every weeks. By pre op diet liquid phase I will have my mind right.

I've been eating less and trying to eat healthier. I walk on a treadmill and ride a stationary bike some days. I need to start doing that everyday. I haven't been told whether I need to go on a liquid diet before surgery.

One thing my friend suggested was to get used to taking small sips of Water instead of gulping. It will take a long time to get used to not being able to guzzle a whole can of soda or water. And to also test out or get some samples of Protein Drinks but not get attached to anything because your taste buds will change after surgery.

I'm going to add that to my prep. Good tip TheCurvyJ :-)

My surgery date is December 6th - it is very interesting to see that other people have not been given pre-op diet instructions either! I did buy a food processor and a juicer, so I can juice some veggies after surgery for the Vitamin benefit - I have heard from friends that veggies are the hardest to fit in post-op because most are low in Protein and high in bulk, so you don't have "room" for them. Otherwise, I have ASPIRED to walk more and eat less, but honestly, all I've done so far is do too much work in preparation for being off! :blink:

I have to complete a 10 day liquid diet. That's all I know for now but I haven't received the big pack o' info from Dr A's office. I'm not planning on being too crazy with anything until then.

      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.
