I need to lose 9lbs before my surgery HELP!



Recommended Posts

Chelly is right on about what to do. Premier Protein has been my life saver. No fuss. Once I went on the liquid diet - that was it. I had to start thinking as though I'm post op even though I'm not. I'm living mostly on Premier Protein and Cytosport whey powder mixed with 30 cal Almond Milk. But Premier Protein is the true life saver for me. I've had to divorce myself from my romance with eating. You can get the PP from costco. If you aren't a member, do you have a friend who can help you out? I wish you luck.

PS My doc told me to lose 30 lbs. I'm almost there.

I agree, I lost 9lbs in 10 days on my pre op liquid diet. I was only allowed to drink sugar free carnation instant Breakfast drinks with skim milk up to 5 times a day. Chicken/ beef broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles.

I could only have the Protein shakes the first 9 days, on the last day, I was only allowed Clear liquids.

The first 3 days are the worst but I actually got to a point where I could not even drink 5 of those Protein Shakes a day.

I would check with your nutritionist first!

      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.
