Pre/post Op Diet

[dee.jay.bee 12]

I'm not sleeved yet, but the pre and post op diet freaks me out a little. sugar free this, fat free that....I like to eat clean, and this does not fall in line with that. I'm sure that a couple of months of that diet won't kill me, but did anyone out there feel like me? Did you do anything different? Thanks!!

I am. I am in counseling specifically for it, and it's helping tremendously.

Minimal processed foods. That is the best way to describe it. Sorry, I should have been more clear in my initial post.

Once your sleeved your caloric count is recommended around 700 calories a day, this needs to be mostly Proteins and very little carbs. Trick is to eat to live and then adjust your calories once you hit idea weight! If you intake fatty foods you will not get proper nutrition that your body needs. High carbs (sugars) are wasted calories! Once you are sleeved you (I) do not feel hungry phyiscally, I sometimes have to remind myself to eat! The emotional eating is main issue you have to deal with and keep that tiger I n it's cage! Never let it out again! My sleeve was on aug 1,2012 I'm down 55lbs and 90 to go! Good luck on your Quest !

Listen to your nut and drs diet! If you do go off deep end and cheat after surgery, you can damage surgery and get real sick, I was told it hurts to puke! I watched co worker do this and it scared me to stay on straight and narrow!
