pre-op diet issues...ugh



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow I have a pretty big day. I have my pre-op testing which I have to fast for, which coincides with my first day of pre-op diet. I'm doing the homemade shakes, non fat milk with non fat dry milk and sugar free instant Breakfast. Cool right?

No problem...yeah except apparently there isn't any place locally I could find no sugar instant breakfast. :( which means I have to decide if I should choke down the fortified milk without the instant breakfast because of the sugar, or use the instant breakfast that has sugar and risk failing my pre-op diet. Ugh seriously, I'm stressed out and anxious as it is now I don't know what to do about the pre-op stuff. I'm supposed to get 64 grams of Protein a day.

Could you find the instant breakfast sugar free online and get it shipped to you in 1-2 days so that you don't have to go without it for very long?

Yeah, I'm going to have to. Only thing that sucks is Amazon charges 4x the amount of what it costs at the local store. But I'm going to suck it up and order it. I just thought it'd be readily available. I would have planned differently.

You may have already done this but just in case I wanted to link to the Instant Breakfast finder -- just select the powder, then for flavor put in the sugar free variety pack or Sugar Free Chocolate and it will tell you if/where it is sold near you.

      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.
