Surgery Date Set



Recommended Posts

I've got a surgery date of 12/28/12. I need to lose 15 lbs. any good ideas to get this weight off quickly? Also, it was suggested to replace at least 1 meal a day with a Protein Drink. Any suggestions or preference?

Has your doctor given you any direction on how to accomplish this?

That would be a good way to start. Also eliminate as many carbs as you can because after surgery you will want to save all ro available for Protein

My dietician said do a modified diet. maybe start with Protein shake for breakfast. lunch salad with a Protein on it. And healthy dinner. Chix fish meat with side salad veggies. I did have whole grain rice at dinner. The small microwave ones. Water Water water. I also had a Greek yogurt in between breakfast and lunch. And cut up green peppers in between lunch and dinner.

Then week before surgery I would do shake for breakfast and lunch and same dinner above unless they stick you on a liquid diet prior to surgery. if you can get some exercise in there too, that helps. I have 15 to lose prior to surgery too.

My dr is more restrictive. I can have 4-5 Protein Drinks from a limited list of brands, SF Jello, clear broth and Water. I have to do this 2 weeks before and I'm on day 2 and feel like I could chew a shoe!!!

      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.
