I Begin My Pre-Op Liquid Diet Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I have the muscle milk ready, lol! I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for this now. It'll be a day by day thing I guess. Tonight my dinner will be some Mac & cheese which I haven't had in ages, and a small cup of rice pudding. Then, bye bye food :)

Goodbye Food..hello great new life. The pre-diet is toughest the first 4 days. I am NOT saying it's a walk in the park after, either, but it's much more tolerable. I was sleeved 8/20 and with the 2 week pre-op I am down 72 pounds. I assure, this is worth it. I had my own doubts, but at 10 weeks, I am such the believer.

Doed anyone how much is allowed per day. My pre-op diet list said I can habr broth; such as Herb Ox cubes, but it says low sodium broth and the Herb Ox bouillon cubes I have aren't liw sodium, they're regular. It was the only kind they had. Oh Sheesh, did I just cheat without realizing it? So far, I'm okay this first day but I am so conscious about what I am drinking now...I'm keeping track with Fitness pal. I'm trying to get the 64 Oz of Water in.

For my pre-op diet, i was allowed 3-4 Protein Shakes, and unlimited amount of the rest, i would consult your surgeon or nutritionist. My nutrtitionist is very hands on....not sure about anyone elses.

      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.
