day 3 of pre op liquid Impact diet!



Recommended Posts

Surgery 12.8! Today has been a horrible struggle! The 3 "juice box" meals don't really bother me, it's the crunch of real food i want so bad today! I would love to eat a warm meal also! Monday morning can not get here soon enough!

Day 3 and 4 were definitely a struggle for me as well, but after day 4 it got MUCH easier!!!! The crunch of real food is definitely something you miss in the liquid phases however after surgery you will be so focused on getting what you need liquid wise that it shouldn't bother you as much. Just keep you eye on the prize, and know that it's only for a short while. The sacrifice is worth it!

I have a 2 wk pre op diet with the 1st wk limited to Protein Shakes, fruits, and vegetables. That was a walk in the park! Day 4 of the 2nd wk is kicking my butt! I am only sllowed to drink the special drinks they gave me for each meal and clear liquids! I am focused and ready! I have big hopes this time around!

Monday is almost here. Stay strong! You are through the worst of it now. After surgery your focus will change and it will all be worth it!

Sending prayers your way!

My surgery is Friday, and I only have 1 day of pre-op - liquid only. Seems strange as I see so many talking about 5 days pre-op liquids and more. I had asked the nurse when I went in for pre-op tests and she said, yup, that's it! Lucky me I guess.......although I am dreading it...

      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.
