First day pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

Ok, it's 7:30AM here in TN. I walk into work & there sits a platter of cupcakes, a coworker offers me a piece of key lime pie & then someone is taking orders for our favorite hold in the wall Breakfast joint....I just have to LOL!! I guess since all this preparation has happened I've become more aware of what I put into my body. So far so good, I've had my breakfast Protein Shake, I can have a small piece of fruit as a snack & another shake for lunch. I'm allowed 3 oz of lean Protein & non starchy veggies....anyone else become a food snob???? I'm finding myself silently judging others food choices!!!

Oh yes definitely... this happened with me. I still feel that way.
It is GOOD that you are "snobby" to toxic food! That will keep you eating clean and doing what is healthy! The important thing is to not shove it down other people's throats...even if you mean well, it will push loved ones away and make people very uncomfortable.

For me the lack of social eating at work has resulted in an increase of stuff getting done. I own my own business so that has been great. The pre op is the hardest part of the whole thing. It will be much easier to obtain after surgery.

      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.
