Day 5 of pre-op diet....



Recommended Posts

Today is my 5th day on Clear Liquids. It has gotten easier I just feel so sad I don't know if it's because I'm sick over what I have done to myself or because I feel like I'm lost. I have a great support system I just need to buck up I'm having surgery on the 24th of this month. I'm trying to stay positive because I want my life back I just feel alone and I know I'm not because I have all of you great people on here. So thanks for letting me read your posts!

How did the surgery go?

I have a preop diet for 10 days, consisting of 2 shakes and one sensible meal. Last 2 days clear only. I had my shake this morning, then an apple, then a shake then edamame and finally tuna fish with lowfat 15 cal mayo with lettuce and tomatoes Does this sound like im complying?

In less than 12 hours I'll be in the operating room. I've been on the liquid diet since last Wednesday, so a week. My diet has been just four things.

2 cups of bullion Soup once or twice a day.

5 Premier Protein chocolate drinks a day.

Crystal Light, about 5 glasses a day.

Two or four sugar free Jello snack packs.

Have had four single sugar free Popsicle's the whole week.

I have not felt hungry once but did crave carbs yesterday. If I didn't feel full it would have bothered me but what's unbelievable is each night I feel like I've over eaten but I've lost 10 lbs. My biggest worry now is not being able to eat for awhile. :)

I have avoided watching Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives and Man vs. food though all week.

      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.
