I think most people work during the time frame of the preop diet. There is no reason not to. Did I misunderstand the question?

Yes. But I work from home and mostly on the computer. I did find that working out during that time was really tough.

I fully intend to work during mine. I have my surgery on a Monday and my last day of work is the Saturday before and that's only because my employer is closed on Sunday during the summer. I also plan to go back to work after a week. That's my plan anyways, it may not happen that way.

if you are concerned about OP seeing what you are or are not eating.............

get used to it ;)

2 weeks before surgery you will be drinking the shakes

after surgery, you'll be eating differently with "mush" pureed, soft and finally solids

people might be curious (nosey) about why you are eating what you are

get used to the "possible" stares/questions

if i didn't tell someone i had WLS - i would tell them i am trying to lose weight (i/you probably have said that before)

special diet - liquids, Protein et al

if it still bothers you....

knock it off :lol:

you are the one that counts!!!

and this is the way you'll be eating for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck with surgery

speedy recovery

I plan on working. my whole pre-op diet is one month .... hopefully it goes ok! I'm trying right now to increase my Water intake. I'm going to the bathroom a lot. I've also got myself off caffeine. If anyone is trying to get off caffeine, increase your Water intake to at least 5 bottles of water a day and that really helps with the headaches.

      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.
