Pre-op diet...WOW!



Recommended Posts

I thought the pre-op diet would be hard as hell...well it's not great but I started my 2 week liver shrink diet Tuesday, today is Sunday & I've lost 12.5 lbs. I've NEVER been able to get the scale to budge like that. I'm sure it's mostly Water weight but I can even feel a difference in my work uniform pants! I'm totally motivated by watching the scale moving....if this is any indication of how it will be after surgery I can't wait! My only fear is loose skin but I know it's gonna happen most likely. Good luck to everyone...my surgery date is 9/10 so only 1 more week on this liver shrink diet. I know I couldn't follow it for life, too many temptations out there bit I haven't cheated!

I feel the same way! I told myself I've screwed up long enough & I wasn't going to mess up b/c if I can't even do the pre-op diet then what am I doing this for. I'm amazed at myself...finding it very therapeutic as well! Good Luck!

      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.
