Recommended Posts

I am confused with my pre op diet. I ordered the pre op package through OCC but that is for 15 days. I was under the understanding that I didn't have to diet for 15 days. Hmmm. Any suggestions on this. I have a low bMI

sheri3388 - I would call Lori or Carolyn and ask. Patients have different pre-op requirements depending on the doctor and their weight.

I have to do 2 weeks of 2 Protein shakes a day and a protein/salad for dinner' date=' then 3 days prior to surgery I have to be on Clear Liquids and take a daily laxative. Water and yogurt sounds much better :P[/quote']

I have tummy trouble with stuff like yogurt, so I actually would prefer the clear liquids. Which im thinking like broths? Im going to ask if I can mix it up between the two. Im wondering if yogurt because it has Probiotics in it. That could be to help the bathroom issues?

      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.
