Eating 2 Weeks Before Surgery Question.



Recommended Posts

My surgery is less than two weeks actually, its oct 9 and so far I have stuck to what is on the list my Dr gave me.. What would happen if I indulged a little like ate chicken for a dinner and had a few drinks one night? Has anyone done this?

Not sure about the drinks, but you can indulge a bit of food as long as the rest of the time you stick with it...make sure to exercise off anything you do eat, though.

I wouldn't do the drinks. My cheat on my 3 week pre-op mushy diet was some grilled chicken.< /p>

I didn't cheat but I know a couple of people who did and they had one hell of a time after surgery with extreme gas pains for days after surgery. I saw one of them and personally I would not recommend it.

What would happen if I indulged a little

Robert

Indulge?? Did you know that people have been shot for less :lol::D

but......many people, yes me, go out on "food funerals" - there last big meal

this will be your last big meal, buttttt - after WLS and a period of time, you will be able to eat your normal stuff, in teeny bits, moderation, you know that song

sounds like the "big" indulge you would like to have - chicken, something like that, is no big deal - have a good time, have a drink on me - H20 of course ;)

in my case i had a "few" last meals.

i survived to talk about it

9 1/2 months Post WLS - i am down 90 lbs - 10 til goal :)

have a nice week-end

best of luck on WLS

speedy recovery

      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.
