Pre-Op Diet starts tomorrow morning- Suggestions?



Recommended Posts

On the last leg of the beginning of my new life! I start my pre-op tomorrow. 2 shakes, 1 snack (high protein), and 1 very small high Protein meal with small serving of cooked vege. I almost want to go liquid all the way to maximize my weightloss. I am so ready!!!

Take from a girl in the middle of all liquid hell, SAVIOR that meal!!!!! I'm ending day 3 pre-op, it's tolerable, and getting better. Horrible headache day 1, really really really tired but I guess on 500 calories you're not gonna have a ton of energy. I've been drinking Water until I about float away. You can do it, but it's not fun!!!!

So you only had a 3 day pre-op? It varies so much from surgeon to surgeon!

I can have coffee. Can you? It's going to be hard to say good bye to such a long time habit post-op. Best of luck on the 11th!

Nope! I usually only drink 2-3 cups a week so wasn't really an issue, except Monday morning when I was at work cold, grumpy, and had a headache. I have 5 Protein shakes a day, SF Jello, SF calorie free Clear liquids with no caffeine or carbonation (Water and crystal light essentially), fat free broth, Decaf tea and decaf coffee (i have to have Creamer so this is out!) and I can have 2 dill pickles a day :D. I'm 3 days in and starting to hate pickles.

What kind of shakes are you using. The only ones I have found that I like are the Premier at costco. I can't stand that chemical taste. I gave up carbonation 2 years ago- I used to drink a 12-pak of Diet Coke per day... I can't ever touch that again!!! Pickles, I love pickles....

I have a variety,hate em all. My doc sells and recommends HMR so I have some of those, I also have a couple different types of EAS and an powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury sample pack and the Unjury chicken broth. I've ordered a Syntrax sample pack that one of my friends swears by. The chemical taste kills me too!!! I have discovered I'm good with making sugar free Jello with the unflavored unjury powder. It's my least offensive Protein source so far! I think my doc has realized sometimes we get to craving crunchy or salty and decided giving us a couple pickle is better than cheating with a bag of chips! The week before surgery I have to cut out pickles too :/. Down 7 lbs in 2 days....I know it's mostly Fluid but still, it's 7 lbs!!!

I've heard the Unjury unflavored mixes with flavored water and Soup and is undetectable. I'm thinking I might have to try that. I have heard that the unjury chicken soup is kinda salty.

It's Is kinda salty but after all the sickeningly sweet shakes, sometimes salty is a nice change!!!! You can only heat the unjury to 130 degrees so you can't really get the chicken Soup hot and you can't mix the unflavored with a super hot beverage or soup....I wouldn't say it's undetectable but it's not nearly as after tasty as the shakes.< /p>

I love unjury, just make sure your soup is under 130 degrees or the Protein will actually cook (aka clump) and that's no fun at all!

I am on Slimfast until my surgery--my choice not the surgeons-- and my go-to snack is V-8 fusion light blended with ice and unflavored unjury.

I have a bunch of recommended meals- most of them are liquid- that my program gave me. Feel free to PM me if you would like some :)

I just bought the Unjury sample pack for right after my surgery. I've heard it's pretty palatable. My dr. also allows Atkins shakes afterward but no other pre-made shakes.

My dr requires 3 days pre-op liquid diet. My surgery is 7 weeks from today, seems like forever. I'm SO ready to get a move on!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
