Pre-Op 2 Wk Liquid Diet.



Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone!

My surgery date is July 11 (so excited!) and Monday I am starting my 2-wk Liquid Protein diet. Anyone who has had to do this, do you have any tips on how to succeed with this? Being addicted to food like I am, I just don't know how I'm going to get through this. Obviously my stomach won't be small yet, so how do I overcome the hunger and emptiness I'll be feeling all day?

I know it's difficult, I try to have my first shake at 11 my second at 3 and my dinner at 6 because I am not hungry in the morning. You need to found a shake you really like I prefer the premier brand at costco. Remember try varieties of foods so you don't get bored GOOD LUCK

The first day was my worst day. I had a headache 2 times so far. But i rearranged the order of my food. For example, I can have a baked potatoe with dinner, but I eat it with lunch to fill me up.

Elvislover: Don't you give up girl! I can imagine how hard it is. I've done shake diets before with no results. But think...you know this is going to pay off once and for all!

Well, this is my 2nd day on my pre-op diet. My instructions are to replace two meals with a high Protein shake and then have one low carb, high Protein meal. I decided that on the days that I work (I work overnights 6p-6a), I will have a shake for Breakfast, my meal for lunch and then my 2nd shake later that night/early morning. When I'm at home with the hubby and baby, I will have both my shakes for bfast and lunch and then have my dinner with them. So far it hasn't been too bad. Being here at work is the hardest because we tend to have a lot of "down time", so I'm kinda just sitting here thiniking about how much I want to EAT, EAT, EAT! Tomorrow will be my first day at home on the diet and I think it will be easier since I'll be so busy with the baby all day. Anyway, for my meals, I'm just having boneless/skinless chicken breast and some veggies. Three days prior to surgery I will just have Clear liquids. The doc says I can do that 1 day prior, but I'm going to go ahead and do it for three days. I'm so scared my liver won't be small enough. I'd hate to get refused because my liver's too fat for fat surgery!! LoL

Anyway, thanks for all the replies. I wish you all continued success on your pre-op diets and hoping our cravings for the "bad stuff" will die down after a few days! I want TACOS and PIZZA!! No, no, no!! I can do this! :D

      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?

      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.
