Has anyone cheated on their pre op diet



Recommended Posts

My doctor wanted a 3 week pre op diet opposed to a 2 week diet to help lose more weight before surgery. I am almost done my first week and cheated a few times. I didn't eat a lot just a couple things here and there which weren't really bad. I was at a baby shower today and couldn't help myself. I stayed away from bread and starches but I am feeling really guilty for not being able to complete the first week with out eating food. Has anyone else had this problem?

Tomorrow is a new day! Start fresh, no guilt, just do it!!! I had the standard 2 week liquid diet, my doc lets you have pickles the first week so I added cucumbers (because pickles are cucumbers right?!?!?) and the white from a boiled egg a couple times the first week, by week 2 the urge to cheat was better and it was easier to just roll with it.

I was going nuts on my pre op diet my NUT said I could add a hard boiled egg or some beef Jerky here and there which I did and it helped.

My surgery was in February. I did horrible on my pre op diet. I would follow it all day but then have dinner every night.

I am on day 3 and cheated a little already. Not proud of it... I made chicken broth with carrots and broccoli, added couple pieces of laughing cow wedges (for creamier texture) and used handheld blender to pulp it all together. I've been eating that for lunch yesterday and today... Cannot stomach jell-o.

      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.
