Who Else Had To Do More Than 2 Weeks Pre-Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

Pessimist- Hit day 14 and this just sucks.

Optimist- Oh well only 7 more days to go.

Wish this was it but will have to wait it out. Anyone else have to do 3 weeks?

Mine was 3 weeks...3 "meal replacement" meals, and 1 "normal" meal (but the meat portion was limited to very lean meats, and no more than 4 ounces). I could eat any non-starchy veggies I wanted, all day, as much as I wanted. Hang in there....this too shall pass!! :)

I have to do 10 days. I start this Saturday! But I will try to keep my eye on the prize. I am also on vacation next week then go right into surgery on the 10th so I will use next week to get my house in order for when I am recuperating. I also plan on going through all my clothes closets to sort out sizes. I am sure I have at least 3 to 4 back sizes for the way down!! At least I will know what I have to wear for a while. I do not want to go spend a lot of money in the beginning of the weight loss. Once I get down lower then I can splurge!!

i just started my two week pre-op diet yesterday - except I'm not calling it a diet - I'm calling it my pre-op prep phase - I HATE THE WORD DIET - to me it just means failure. But I am lucky, 1 get one regular meal a day, plus an egg and toast/bagel/english muffin for Breakfast and just 2 shakes a day. So since I've been prepping for this for months - I eat 1/2 my lunch and then eat the other 1/2 at dinner (I checked with my NUT and she said that's fine, as the salads we have here at the office are HUGE). I make a shake at home in the morning and finish that - then make another one that I drink around 3pm....so all in all this has been pretty easy.

So sorry for those of you who have terrible liquid only phases.....

I'm 3 days into a 31 day pre-op. My surgeon said at least 3 weeks was required, so I'm doing an extra week. So far this decision sits well with me, but I'm sure I'll hit 2 weeks and just crave to eat something! 3 shakes and non starch veg and loads of Water is all I'm allowed to have. I'm just thinking of the weightloss I can achieve before I get the sleeve- trying to concentrate on that instead!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
