Pre_op diet and how i keep myself from going crazy..

[babygirl_sandy 85]

My pre_op consist of 4 to 5 Protein shakes that total 800 calories, broth, crystal light, Water, sf popsicles, sf Jello, sf tea, lettuce, bell peppers, onions, carrots with ff dressing.. This is what i did to get in my Protein and Water and not feel hungry..

This is my typical menu for the day..

8@m Protein shake

9@m tea or crystal light or water

10@m Protein Shake

11@m popsicle or Jello

12noon broth and salad w ff dressing

1pm tea, crystal light or water

2pm protein shake

3pm popsicle or jello

4pm crystal light or water

5pm broth and a salad w ff dressing

6pm crystal light or water

7pm protein shake

8_9pm clear water

I hope this helps someone that has a similar pre_op diet every Dr is different. I enjoy structure and if you have a schedule you will start to train your mind for after surgery when you will have to drink every 15 min just to get your liquid intake for the day. Again not everyone is the same but by having my broth and a salad makes me Feel like I'm having a meal and not just liquids All day..

I did full liquids 3 weeks preop and then two of Clear Liquids. I think the plan above is super. Keep fuids going constantly with the Protein spaced out so you do not get hungry and stay busy getting ready for post op. clean, sort kitchen cabinets, clean and sort clothes, get any packed away smaller clothes sorted into descending sizes, pack for hospital, etc... Keep the exitement going for surgery day and the time will fly by. Do not focus on what you cannot have or even talk about it... Keep ur focus on positive thoughts. Best wishes!

You might want to start doing it for just one to days now so when you have to do you're three weeks you'll be mentally prepared a bit more and know what to expect.. Just a thought!!

Are your Protein Shakes the same as Chike (meal replacements)? I'm not scheduled for sleeve until May 13 but I gotta get ready, and I love the meal plan. Thanks for posting it.
