Pre and Post Diet? Whats everyone eating?



Recommended Posts

I am on the 2 week Pre Diet and doing 2 shakes and 1 meal a day. Honestly I am doing better than I thought I would. My only real cheat is that my dinner is low carb but not a salad. I am mostly meat and cheese. I already feel a little better!!

I found an oatmeal that has helped and i can also eat Post during mushy stage. It has been a lifesaver from just shakes. 100 cal 14g Protein 1g fat and 8 carbs. Profast apple and cinnamon the taste is pretty good.

What products have others found we should know about.

I've been going round and round in my head about my pre-op diet. It does not feel like a diet to me when I see it on paper. Just 19 instructions such as no fast/fried food, no sugar, no sugar drinks, no carbonated beverages, protien first, reduce/eliminate caffiene, lots of Water... etc. Feels more like every other diet I've failed than a pre-op diet. I asked my Doctor THREE times to verify what I should be doing pre-op as a very high BMI patient and all three times this was reiterated until I reach 3 days to surgery and it changes to predominantly liquids.

All that said, I do not trust myself so I've beein doing HMR shakes 3-4 a day, some fruit and veg and a low fat/low carb dinner. Just yesterday I switched to HMR heat/eat box meals for dinner too since I don't trust myself to cook properly.

I have HMR oatmeal on standby if I get into a space where I cannot stand myself, but I'm trying hard to avoid it because I don't want it to trigger a binge.

Weighed in yesterday, 9lbs down from where I was at my weigh in during November. May not seem like much, but I KNOW I gained during Christmas so I'll take it as a small victory.

I got it at a diet doctor metabolic medical centers but you can buy if from meat as well.

      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.
