Pre op diet in 1 week ....need opinions.



Recommended Posts

I have lost 6 pounds in the last 6 weeks which is really good for me. (Since seeing my surgeon about my revision) I have PCOS and have always had trouble losing weight. During the next three weeks, my surgeon's goal is for me to lose 13 pounds about 5% of my current weight. I am scared that even with 100% compliance that I won't be able to lose that amount. The good news is that I have lost 45 pounds in the last year so I am on my way to success...just need to see how much slow losers lost on the 2week liquid preop diet. I also am not planning on doing a bucket list because I only have 3 weeks to go and I don't want to make my liver fatty for my surgeon to have more difficulty. I am already a revision. Thoughts and opinions?

Don't worry, you'll lose weight on the liquid diet. Try not to weigh, and be happily surprised!

      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.
