about to start pre-op diet (3/27)



Recommended Posts

So, I am about to start my pre-op diet on Wednesday. TICK TOCK is about all I can hear at the moment! I am getting more excited, which seems a bit odd to me, because I am also nervous. I am going to be at work that day, and am just thinking of adjusting to not eating food. I get sick feeling when I am hungry, and headaches, and not to mention a royal B**ch! (I have warned my love ones) so I am curious about how I will make it through the day. I just want it to get here already, I want to be sure I have everything I need. I have two weeks pre-op all liquids, 5 shakes a day. My Dr office did say that it is ok to mix with skim milk, which I think will help a bit. Also, if I am feeling like I want FOOD that it is ok to have an extra shake or two, especially during the 1st couple of days. Which makes me feel a whole lot better about the idea of not eating something.... anything. my mind keeps racing, and all I keep thinking about is well... everything. The questions I should ask, but I don't have that many... is there something I am missing? I am planning on going to the store tomorrow to get some things to have handy for the next couple weeks, then NEXT weekend I am getting everything (I hope) that I need for post-op at the house. I was taking my daily meds this morning and realized I need to ask my Dr office what about those.... one of the pills is huge... hmmm... wonder what I need to do about that. I know that you all don't need to know all of this, but it feels good to be getting some of it out of my head and written down. Usually I am just a lurker on boards, because there is A LOT of great INFO from everyone, and that is usually enough. Anyways.... my surgery is set for the 10th of April at 9am and I am very ready! Also, I want to know how to add a space between lines when typing, like to start a new paragraph. I don't know I cant seem to find it, I like to break of my thoughts just to make it easier to read.

I am on my 2nd to last day of liquid only. The first few days is tough but it gets better and you get use to it. The biggest savior or me was very hot chicken broth and I put fresh ground pepper in it at dinner. It was a quick two weeks for me. Stay busy and exercise. Not sure how much I lost but it is almost a pant size. Good Luck. Don't forget we are all doing this and you can too.

      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?

      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.
