How much did you lose on the pre-op diet?



Recommended Posts

I'm down slightly over 6 lbs. that's with being on a 1000 calorie diet for the past week. I don't move around much so that doesn't help (I work mid nights and have a sedentary job, then fight to rest/sleep during the day).

Band is in...have gas pains something horrible.... But I'm not even hungry! The meds may be helping with that. Doc filled me to 5cc's already! No problems swallowing or drinking...it's mainly the gas, so I keep walking every hour for 15 min. Good luck bbyruth! I couldn't sleep a wink the night before. Now all I want to do is sleep. No desire for juices or broth right now. So now on to the the post diet.. Which may be easier than I expected with band in place. Fingers crossed and positive vibes your way, bbyruth!

glad to hear it all went well! Good luck to you! I just got to my hotel and these nerves won't let me sleep but I know everything will be ok!

      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.
