What is everyone elses pre-op diet?



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 8 of 14. Three Protein Shakes a day and two Protein Bars a day. Plus 64oz of fluids a day. Needless to say I pee every half hour. When making dinner for my family I do try a very small piece of meat. Today, I've made a large pit of meat sauce and meatballs. My stomach is screaming "give me one" but I'm doing ok so far. Yesterday was a grouchy day.

My 14 day preop diet is 3 Meal Replacement shakes a day with 3 zero calorie Snacks. I had to do a lot of research to find shakes and Vitamins that don't contain artificial sweeteners because I'm allergic. Anyone else have artificial sweetener allergies? In particular Splenda and sugar alcohols.

No pre-op diet here, just nothing after midnight the night before like most other types of surgeries.

The hunger pains will call down a little but not completely. Stick to it and the payout is amazing afterwards. I did 15 days without cheating at all. From that I know with out a doubt I can control whst goes into my body.

I've really set my mind to this. I'm not going to cheat. I really want this surgery to be a success and I know this is the first step to being on the right path. How much did you lose during those two weeks?

Whenever I get the hunger pains, I drink a glass of Water or tea. That tends to subside them. Might want to give that a try. That is also another way of getting in you 64+oz. a day.

I'm doing ok! It was really rough the second and third day... but I think I'm over the hump!

Good luck to everyone on this journey!

      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.
