My dietitian says to use Walden farm dressing. It has no calories. Been on pre-op diet for a month and that was what I used for my salads at dinner. I had to have 4 Protein Shakes and 1 Protein Bar a day. Than I got to eat 4 oz of Protein, 1-2 cups vegetables and 1 cup fruit. Surgery is Tuesday. I am getting so excited

Thank you so much wildpulaski!!! I'll look for it . Wow- you're allowed fruit? Sooo jealous!! and btw, best of luck to you- I share your excitement too!

Hello all!

I cannot believe I'm getting sleeved Monday! I've been on a pre-op diet for nearly 2 weeks, so even if I could have a "food funeral" this weekend, I wouldn't want to. So funny to me now.

Does anyone have any last minute advice of what I should do pre-surgery.... or what I should buy for when I come home from surgery? I'm planning to buy my Protein drinks/powders and liquid Tylenol. Anything else anyone has found to be helpful?

Thanks!

I start my preop diet tomorrow! I'm very lucky because my surgeon only requires high Protein, low/no carb. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I've got a tummy bug and the sight of food is icky. Hopefully I can get rid of it before surgery tho, I'm terrified they will cancel the surgery =/

Make sure you're allowed to have painted nails during surgery. That was one of the rules on my list - remove all nail polish from fingers and toes. First time I've been in public with bare toenails in like 10 years!

      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.
