Day 7 on pre-surgery diet



Recommended Posts

Starting to feel much better then I did the first day. I have had some hot and sour Soup which was much tastier then anything else I was having the first few days. Mostly Protein Shakes and trying to drink lots of Water.< /p>

Anyone have any other suggestions for this stage? Anyone else have hot and sour soup during the pre-op portion.

Thanks everyone for reading and answering my questions.

This is going to be a hell of journey but I am ready.

My doctor gave me a list of allowed foods along with strict guidelines about how much I could eat of each one. Did you get anything like that?

I ended up really liking Low Sodium Beef broth in that stage. It helped me feel more full.

Best wishes!

There's a Chinese food place right down the street from my house and when my family ordered from there one night I got a wonton Soup. I poured it through a strainer, gave that part to my mom, and drank the broth. It was delicious!! The closer to the end of the diet I got, the less hungry I felt. And when I did feel hungry it was usually time for me to have a Protein Shake anyways. I think what helped me the most was staying busy. Do things you love or tasks that take a lot of time to get your mind off it and the time will fly by! Good luck with the rest of the diet :)

      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.
