Snack Struggles

[somaiswhat 29]

On the meal plan to lose 15 lbs before my surgery, and feel like I'm doing something wrong. I do my Protein for bfast, yogurt and fruits as snack, turkey sandwich at lunch and I figure out somethig for dinner. But I'm going to bed hungry and waking up at like 3 am hungry. I wanna stick to it but I'm dying to chew. Any suggestions other than yogurt? Like a cup of dry Cereal or just SOMETHING..hate feeling hungry at night

Load up on more good vegetables for dinner, and after I guess if you're really hungry.

As for the dry cereal - I'd really avoid the carbs, especially at night / evening.

I stuck to my pre op diet pretty well, and there were some real 'hungry times'. Mentally I just stuck with the thought that it's only for such a short time (as opposed to trying to lose a massive amount).

Stay hydrated too!

Good luck,

Deano

I have been advised to have nothing but Protein Shakes and veggies per op so that the liver shrinks. With all this Protein, I never feel hungry

I am suprised that you are allowed this type of pre op diet , but I guess all Doctors are different. I had my surgery this past Nov 13 th, and I had to do a 14 day pre op clear liquid diet and I was not allowed anything else.

I lived on Clear broth , sugar free Jello & Popcicles , sugar free drinks & tea .

I allowed my self 1 cup of Decaf coffee and 2 -3 slim fast shakes. I lost 15 lbs.

My start weight was 237 , Day of surgery 222 and as of today , I am 210.

Good luck to you , best wishes of your surgery & recovery.
