First day pre-op diet- SO HUNGRY!

[katie206 12]

So my surgery is in 2 weeks! I am soo excited! I started the pre op diet today and I'm so hungry! I'm supposed to have 4 Protein shakes, any veggies (no starch), and I'm allowed a handful of fruit and 2 tbs of oil. I'm a pastry chef so there are so many temptations at work and i was great today and didn't eat anything I wasn't supposed to but it was very hard! Just wondering if anyone has tips! And what your favorite Protein shake is, I've been drinking

Premier Protein, but it's a little chalky.

Thanks!

Hi I found scrambled eggs (no milk) filling and very low carb but has protein. Anything low carb Atkins diet on phase one will do. This pre diet is to get your liver to loose weight to help the. Surgeon in the operation. I didn't make sense at Kings and Protein shakes and my surgeon says my liver was very small and easy to work with when I had the diet this way.

I thought we were only allowed to have things on the list. I don't want to mess with the surgery by not following the diet exactly. Was scrambled eggs on your lists of food allowed or did your doctor say it was ok?

Each doc is different. My two weeks were 3-4 Protein Drinks a day and a minimum of 64oz of clear liquid with no calories, no carbonation, and no caffeine.

Check with your Dr, However I lost 7 kg before my operation in two weeks just following shakes and very low carb foods that were feeling. Eg scrambled eggs

I also am two weeks out and the liquid thing is hard the first couple of days.

I used to be a chef and I learned fast that I have no willpower around sabayon.

I found the diet much easier after the fourth day.. I was able to use eas advantage...seven shakes a day. This really helped.

Unjury shakes are by far the best.

SF Popsicles rock..mine is 2 shakes and one low Carb low calorie meal

I am at the ond of 2 week Fluid diet and I was soooo hungry for the first week, I had boiled egg twice. You can at least have some normal food, so cherish that I was ready to kill for a plain Tomato with salt and pepper Now I recognize this was head hunger, you just crave chewing... I made it through 2 weeks and I'll be having my surgery on Monday. I wish you patience and don't think how many days you have left, think how many already have passed! Good luck!!

I didn't even think of sf Popsicles! Thank you!

And good luck on your surgery Monday!

I'm drinking Body Fortress. I put in my milk, powder and then fill it up with ice and blend it with my Magic Bullet. Makes them more tolerable and they last a bit longer!
