Preop Diet Stars NOW!

[DaddyMarie 291]

I had my Preop visit with my surgeon today and then the nutritionist. My surgeon is ready to rock and so am I! I asked him how many people that he has done have died and he said ZERO. I asked him how many Leaks he said NONE! He's the best of the best and I feel very comfortable he is doing my surgery! I have a 2 week preop diet which consists of liquids, protien shakes (cornerstone is what he gave me) low fat Soups, sugar free popcycles, pudding and Jello. I can also have endless veggies! Wee!!! I'm so happy I just may go to McDonalds for dinner since I start my diet tomorrow! I'm so ready for this journey and nothin is gonna stop me from livin the life I was intended to live!

Awesome!!! I was so nervous about the liquid diet as it was the most extreme diet I was ever on. I had two rough days where I was probably detoxing, and then the rest was actually great. I had tons of energy, my skin looked great, and even my hair was extra shiny. It was totally weird.

Hope you have a great experience, too!

Thanks girl!!!! I'm looking foreword to the challenge...

PS the Cornerstone chocolate Protein that my doctor insisted I have is DISGUSTING!!!!

I just started mine today! I pretty much resent the heck out of anyone chewing within sight of me LOL. This too shall pass (so I've heard). Your diet sounds a lot like mine, except I can't have veggies. The doctor doesn't have a preference in shakes, just as long as there is at least 15 grams of Protein, and less than 20 grams of carbs per cup.

Do you have a calorie restriction? Mine is supposed to be 800-1000 calories a day.

I'm on day 3! I have to stay under 1,000 calories as well. I'm doing Premier Protein and they are really good. They taste kind of like a runny pudding. Lol. I am struggling tho and having lots of food cravings and mourning the loss of food right now.

[DaddyMarie 291]

So far I feel ok. The smell of my daughters fish sticks were a little hard....

I have to drink protien shakes with 20-30 grams of Protein per drink. Less than 200 cal per drink, less than 5 grams of fat and sugar per drink. I get 4 shakes a day with almond milk.

I can have low fat/low sodium Soups like healthy choice, one serving 5x a day. Cream of wheat, applesauce/ pudding low fat sugar free.

Veggies are free

Here's a sample menu

:

That's almost exactly like mine, except no applesauce

I'm on Premier, too! I like Muscle Milk better, but I had coupons for Premier plus they went on sale so I stocked up. They are good enough. Can't beat that 30mg of protein!

I'm jealous! I'm on strictly liquid. Shakes, broth, sf Jello, low carb yogurt and protein pudding. Good luck!!! I'm sure you will do great!

Premier, Chike and Unjury are good. The Syntrax Nectars are nastyyyyy!

Laura I have to buy the protein from my surgeons office at least for preop and 2 weka after. They like to make money off it. It's either Cornerstone or Bariatric Advantage and since they were out of BA I got Cornerstone and it tastes like shit!!! I was thinking after 3 shakes today, "how the hell am I gonna choke these bastards down for the next month? Then I put a banana in my blender and added a packet of Splenda and that did the trick!!
