Preop diet how much weight lost?



Recommended Posts

My pre-op diet was:

2 Protein shakes

2 Protein Bars

dinner was 5 oz lean Protein, 1 - 3 cups of non-starchy veggies and 1 serving of a healthy fat.

Last day was Protein Shakes only.

I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks.

I haven't finished pre-op yet, but only a day left! And so far, I've lost 14 lbs. I really tried to get a variety of shake so that I don't get too bored or disgusted, and it worked for a while, I had different flavors. The hardest part for me was not forcing myself to drink the shakes I got tired of, but it is watching TV and seeing some food commercial that looks SO good, or getting out of the house and driving past all the food places I like to stop at :-( I knew I'd have to give all that up and it's hard, but i'm keeping my eyes on the prize! And focusing on the end result and the reason why I'm going through with the sleeve.

Day 3 or 4 was my roughest. After that it was smooth. But them days I felt like I could rip someone's head off and every commercial made my hunger worse

My pre-op was shakes and clear broth for one week. Lost like 6-7 lbs. day three was hardest. That and knowing that for two weeks after surgery it was pretty much the same thing. Felt like an eternity before I was to start the puréed stage. Which I thought would be gross but tasted heavenly after just liquids. Lol. Looking at the puréed foods does take a shift in ur thought process though But at almost six months out and 65 lbs down ...... Absolutely worth it! Still have 75-80 more to go but loving this decision !

Day 3 was the hardest! I've used Premier Protein all along. They are tasty but get old after a few weeks. I have learned to appreciate why my dog always looks depressed when I feed her the same thing day in and day out!

      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.
