Pre op diet- not doing so good



Recommended Posts

Heck yeah... I even had an "easy" preop diet (low carb, low fat). Just keep trying!

And how you do on the pre-op diet is no indicator of how you'll do post-op. It's a whole different ball game ;)

I must say it has me questioning my success post op. Good to know that I still have a chance of being successful on the other side. Thanks!

Yes the pre op is the hardest because you still have your big tummy and it still wants what it wants! BUT there are so many reasons why you need to stick with this diet. If you have messed up, then vow to start anew and do better tomorrow. Go ahead and set goals for yourself and concentrate on one meal at a time. Get anything that might cause you to stumble out of your house like Cookies, chips, ice cream and candy. If it is out of the house, it is a lot harder to screw up. You need to do this and you need to do your very best to ensure that you are successful on this journey. YOU CAN DO IT! Take it one moment at a time!

      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.
