Recommended Posts

My 2 week pre-op diet has been full liquids...broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, Protein Shakes, high Protein nonfat yogurt and sugar free beverages. I have been averaging 75 grams of protein and maybe 600-700 calories a day. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. As of Friday I had lost 10 pounds. I haven't cheated at all. My motivation is the possibility of no longer having to inject insulin 4 times a day and worrying that I won't be alive to see my grandkids (a long time away since my son is only 9...lol) Tomorrow is only Clear Liquids all day and nothing after midnight. Surgery Tuesday morning. Busy getting the house, my son and I ready. Challenging being a temporary geographical single mom, but I have good friends supporting me. Good luck everyone and best wishes for much success on your journeys!

Molly I was weak during my pre-op diet. I let temptation get the better of me. Im not perfect, but according to my self evaluation, I did very well pre-op in comparison to how I was eating before. I am example of a sinner saved by grace.

I'm so glad that you have done well since the surgery. No one is perfect. Time to dust off and move on, eh?

Good luck to everyone. My surgery date is October 16th. I go in for pre op tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous I've been struggling with my weight for over 20 years now. So glad to have found some like minded ppl to network with.

Lynn did you see dr tanner more than once before surgery?? I've only seen him once and the only appt I have left is the preop class next week.

I did but I also have a band. I went in 2 weeks ago and had my Fluid pulled out. I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. EXCITED AND NERVOUS

Im having mine on oct 28. Im 5 feet 228#s. Cant wait to stand up without having to adjust my pants over my belly :-)

Dee you are the only other 28th that I have seen. Counting down. When do you start your pre-op diet? I saw nutritionist yesterday. Start on Monday. Excited for the home stretch of waiting. Been very emotional. My poor boyfriend deserves a medal for putting up with me.

      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.
