Starting my pre-op diet early....



Recommended Posts

I've decided to start my pre op diet a month before July 1st surgery date and...so far I am feeling pretty good. I went to the Vitamin shoppe today and picked up some samples of the Syntrax Nectars Protein drinks...so far I have tried the Caribbean one and as long as I put a lot of ice...it tastes really delicious!

Did anyone else start their preop diet early? How much weight did you lose?

My surgery date is July 3rd! I've thought of starting early, but that seems like an awfully long time. Especially since we will also be on liquids 6 weeks post op (well, I will). But that's awesome if you can do it!

My date is July 2nd in Tijuana. I am also planning to start early. I think it's because for the first time in a few years, I have just the tiniest sliver of hope that my efforts might lead to success. It makes me want to jump right in!

(A dark thought still lurks in my mind that for some never-to-be-discovered reason, I will be the freaky example of a 237-pound woman who couldn't lose weight even after weight loss surgery)

I also hope to keep my surgery fairly private, and having my community see me start a regular old shake diet one more time is good for my cover! :D

      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.
