Help! I Cheated On My Pre Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Today is my 7th day on my diet. My surgery is on Oct 2 and today I cheated for the first time and I was doing sooooo good. My diet consist of five shakes and bars and one small meal. I usually have two shakes and three bars with a 5oz chicken with veggies as my meal. Well today after my EGD I was so hungry and dizzy we went to ihop. My intention were to eat healthy but I was out of control. I ordered an omelet (egg substitute) with turkey bacon. Good so far right? THEN I STOLE ONE pancake FROM MY HUSBAND. How much in trouble am I. My initial weight was 200 and today at the doctor I was 195, I need to loose five more pounds by Oct 2.

I had an oops on my pre op diet too. You just need to start tomorrow out fresh, its a new day. It is hard to break all the bad habits that have gotten us into this mess. Take it one day at a time. It sounds like you have been doing good so far, and you can get back on track and you will lose 5 lbs by Oct 2nd!! Stay positive and don't beat yourself up too bad!!

I'm also October 2nd and I get 3-4 shakes a day and water..that's it. But yesterday I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and I have to take my antibiotics with food and avoid milk..problem is my boost is made of milk! So I had a piece of chicken. I need to lose 3 lbs before surgery. Get back on track and we will be fine. Don't forget ur last day will be clear fluids only I'm sure u will drop some weight there

I was told glucerna which is a diabetic ensure but the carbs in each are like 25! So I looked into the boost diabetic drink and they are only 16 carbs in each and higher Protein. My doctor also okayed that. The Atkins advantage shakes are good too and low calorie

      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.
