Please Help! Pre-op Diet...



Recommended Posts

On my second day of my two week pre-op diet. I woke (3:30am) with a headache (migraine). I am miserable.

How long does this last? I am getting plenty of Water and Protein... I think I am just CARB detoxing - how long will this last?...

Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am on my 7th day and my 2nd day was the worst one yet. I had a headache and was feeling comepletely starved. I have not been getting the amount of shakes I am supposed to in because I've been dealing with a lot of nausea which started before the diet.

It gets better in the next few days. Hang in there!

THANK YOU PIK!!!!

I was starving yesterday....today not so much (I think because of the migraine). I went to my nutritionist today who told me I need 4 - 8oz Protein shakes a day. I had two yesterday -- oops!

I know I can do this...I just have to get over this hump. Plus....I am so emotional - I actually cried at the thought I can no longer have a Burger King Whopper !!!! Omg..... I am ridiculous!

Oh I don't think so...I would love a slice of pizza or a steak! Or even just a couple of bites!

I hit a wall day five with the all liquid preop. However that day I did not meet my fluid goals. I think as long as you get all of your fluids in and meet you Protein Shake requirements you will be fine. But what has also worked for me is that I am literally drinking/sipping something every 2 hours.I don't allow myself to get to hungry. Also going to bed early has really helped too:-)

      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.
