2 Week Pre-Op Diet - I Call Bullsh**t



Recommended Posts

I also started my 2 weeks pre-op on Thursday. I am allowed 1200 calories a day. Anything from a lean cusine meal for lunch or a shake if you choose. Then 2 days before the surgery, which for me is November 9, you go on the liquid diet. The at 2 pm the day before surgery kind of a colon clense.After reading this I feel VERY fortunate to be able to still eat normal foods before the surgery just in much smaller portions, and I feel that I am so ready for a change that I am not feeling deprived or cheated.

I just quit smoking so I'm struggling not to gain weight by going on a modified pre op diet. Once I get to my real pre op diet it will be a piece of cake. Ha.

I'm november 9th also ! I tarted my diet Friday morning. I can have three injury Protein Shakes with fat free milk, one 300 calorie 17 grams Protein meal and sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicle. Oh, caffeine free coffee, tea and propel or zero Vitamin Water. The zero vitamin water tastes horrible.

      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.
