Pre-op diet ideas

[momoftwins+1 18]

So for my 2 week pre op diet.. I can have 2 - 3 Protein Shakes and one small meal a day that consist of 3 oz of Protein, some veggies and starch.

What do most of you eat?? Im guessing alot of grilled chicken, maybe some tuna and brothy Soups and salads? Tomorrow starts my diet and im nervous!!! Im a stay at home mom with 3 kids so i eat alot bc im bored and its in front of me!!!

This is going to be the toughest 2 weeks of the whole process. I say that not to scare you, but to prepare you. Get through these next 2 weeks and you're golden! Take it minute by minute if you have to and focus on how SUCCESSFUL you will feel when you have these 2 weeks behind you! You CAN do this! Be strong! You already know the answer to your question because you posted it! Good luck!

Ok thank you! I have a lot of support and i will take it minute by minute and count down the days... 14 more to go.. Lol.. Im glad i found this forum group!!!

Use that support to your advantage! You are not alone! I'm 11 days post op and the pre op diet was by far the worst part. My tonsillectomy a few years ago was WAY worse than the VSG surgery. You've got this, sister!

Yes, ive seen that some people only get a liquid diet .. That would suck, im glad i get a small meal.. I know i will be miserable the next 14 days as well but wayyyyy worth it.. Just trying to think of all the positives

I'm 4days into my pre-op diet... 3 protien shakes and a lean cuisine and 1/2 cup of veggies... I have done cleanses before but this is really emotional this time.... I'm a bit afraid of the surgery... This is just big step I have to do for myself and my family...

Today was a sucky day for me ....I'm soooo hungry...protein shakes have all sorts of bloated and gassy and let's not mention THE RUNS ....mamma wants a hot meal :0(

Oh noooo.. Today my family ordered pizza for new years eve... I had a lean cuisine tiny pizza thing instead.. It sucked but at least i can eat one small meal a day im sorry.. Just count,down the days and remember how skinny u will be from all of this..

[jbrooks_rn 23]

A lean cuisine sounds like heaven to me right now but I have to have 90 gm of Liquid Protein , an apple and a banana each day ... No mention of anything else .....my doctor doesn't play so I'm not wanting to take any chances. ...your LUCKEEEEEE
