How is your pre-op diet going?

[AngelaTX 29]

I'm on day 4 of a low carb/high protein/soft food pre-op. I don't feel hungry and its going well.

It consists of Protein Shake before each "meal", And I'm actually liking my strained "Light" soup..very easy to do.

I am going to be totally sick of yogurt by the time this is over though

I get 2 Protein Shakes (made with water) 2cups broth. 2sf jellos. 2sf popsicles and 4ozmeat and half cup veggies for dinner

First three days were bad but today is better

Good morning everyone!! I noticed last night and this morning that I'm getting cramps in my legs. I walk every day and i drink 80oz+ of Water so i'm guessing my body is missing my bananas. I'm going to start drinking a Powerade zero at night to see if it helps relieve them.

Hope your pre-op diets are going great!

Hi everybody. Just wanted to join in and say. The toughest thing for me during this liquid diet is knowing it will last 6 weeks. I hope I can loose a couple pounds before surgery. Trying to prepare for surgery. Not sure what I need for the clear liquid diet part as far as clear Protein.< /p>

You can buy unflavored protein powder...which you can add to any clear liquid/drinks. I just bought some online from the "Nectar" brand. I think Unjury also has a chicken flavored Protein Powder that they would consider clear.

I bought the un flavored and chicken Soup from unjury.

I Drink the chicken Soup for lunch every day...I actually really like it.

I just ordered the same thing from unjury. I ordered it Sunday so I hope it arrives before Monday. I bought a food thermometer as well.

How does your post surgery diet look? Mine is straight liquids for 3 days, then on to Soups until the 21 day mark and then on to softs until the 42nd day.

Wow doing ok on liquids so far. I find am allergic to fake sugars. I will be on Clear Liquids for 3 days after surgery and liquid for two weeks then soft food. Still getting nervous. Just the unknown I guess.

My post op diet starts when I get home on the 3rd day. I will basically be on Atkins. meat ,cheese, fish ,eggs, or cottage cheese, pureed until the two week mark from surgery. Then I can have same things not pureed. The first week of december I can add a half cup veggies daily. December 22nd I can start half cup fruit a day.at 6months (March) I can have half cup dairy and 1cup caffeine.

At 7months I can add 1complex carb. No alcohol for at least a year (rarely rrink anyways)

My preop diet is going well so far. In the first few days, I was dropping like 3-4lbs daily, then it slowed down to 1lb or less daily. So far in the past few weeks, I've lost 25lb from the start and 33lbs from my highest weight. Hopefully when I weigh myself tomorrow, I'll be in twunderland (don't know how to spell it!). Haven't seen the 200s in a couple years!
