Recommended Posts

I just started the pre-op diet this morning! I feel like this is going to be a long week ahead. For those of you who already started, how is it coming along?

Day 8?! How long is your pre-op diet for? Mine is only a week long and I don't know how I'm going to do it. I'm afraid that if I'm having a hard time making it through day one, how will I do it post op? I work overnights and so I feel cheated of meals since I was up all day and having to stay up until 8 am. ????

Tomorrow is the day yeay

Me too! I'm a ball of nerves. Had a rough day with pre-op diet yesterday. Was feeling very weak and emotionally a mess. How is everyone that's getting sleeved tomorrow holding up? Am I the only one feeling this way ?

      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.
