Pre Op Testing Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Pre-op testing tomorrow and surgery in 6/4. I have no idea how much i weigh today, but my last weigh in was 245. Today I got two separate comments on how it looks like i am losing weight, felt good. I have seen alot of comments on pre op liquid diets, my doctor said no, but I have to drink the wonderful liquid to clean me out the day before, (so looking forward to that... Not !!!). Have been eating my favorite things and only 1 left on the list . Best luck to anyone this week going through surgery !!!!

My doctor just told me to lose a minimum of 20 pounds prior to my surgery. No weight loss - no surgery. But she never specified any kind of diet. Not that I'm complaining mind you! I lost 35 pounds in four months prior to my surgery and it was a great way to prepare for the post-op diet.

Thank you. Pre op testing went well, alot going on right now, getting stressed more than I can say, has nothing to do with actually having the surgery. Just ready to be on the otherside

      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.
