Anyone else starting pre-op diet tomorrow Nov 4



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone else is starting their pre-op diet tomorrow? I am and scheduled for surgery Nov 18. So I have to do two week of low carb (no more the 30) low fat ( no more then 10 grams) and Protein (70 grams) diet.

My date is Nov 19th. I don't have to officially start my pre op diet until the 11th, but I am choosing to start it tomorrow. Figure it gives me a week to really get into the "groove" of it and hopefully be able to combat the temptations before I'm really required to be. :)

I think I have cried about three times this weekend just thinking about it. I am usually an emotional person so glad my husband puts up with it. lol Guess so many things going through my head, is this what I really want to do ? have I tried hard enough on my own? what if I hate the way I look 6 months from now? . I am a over thinker on a lot of things.

Yup. I start my Liquid Protein diet tomorrow and my surgery is also on the 18th. I'm nervous, but excited.

My nut said to drink the Bariatric Advantage shakes and they are just alright. I'm wondering how I'll be feeling in a few days...

My diet is juice( 100% fruit or veg), Protein drinks( they recommended world wide pure Protein Shake found at trader joes), skim milk, low-fat cream Soups, sugar free pudding and Jello, dannon light and fit yogurt, sugar free fudgcles and popscicles. Water, crystal light, tea, can have coffee( they say preferably decafinated).

I bought 2 cases of different Protein Shakes at costco. Premier Protein in chocolate( 30g of protein) and EAS( 20grams). I also ordered 3 samples packs( around 13.00) of FITFRAPPE Protein shakes from Bigtrain.com.

I started my pre-op diet today as well, and I'm scheduled for surgery November 19th. My doc requires a 2-week low-fat, low-carb, low-calorie diet, followed by 2 days of liquids only.

      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.
