JamieLogical 8,710 Posted February 13, 2015 Heh. The pre-op diet is tough! It's hard to eat so little when you still have 100% of your stomach! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slimsoon1988 123 Posted February 13, 2015 Heh. The pre-op diet is tough! It's hard to eat so little when you still have 100% of your stomach! True story! I'm on day 2, the struggle is real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbsey1 126 Posted February 13, 2015 I'm on day nine hang in there, I'm not going to say the pre op gets better but your body does get used to it. Just keep your mind busy and focus on the big picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alwaysvegas 702 Posted February 14, 2015 I still eat using appetizer flatware and use appetizer plates and bowls. It really does make me feel like I'm eating more than I am...that and my itty bitty stomach helps too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uni2424 48 Posted February 14, 2015 I start Wednesday! I am a little worried! I have written down tons of projects that I need to get done to keep me busy so hopefully I won't think about food as much as usual! Good Luck with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbie Jean 406 Posted February 16, 2015 You get to eat that? I thought the preop died was a liquid diet.< /p> Every doctor has their own preference. Mine included 2 Protein Shakes and one "lean & green" meal. I could also include a salad with fat free dressing. Lost 13 lbs in 2 weeks ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nursemelody40 19 Posted February 16, 2015 No its three Protein Drinks per day one lean cuisine with a bowl of cooked veggies… must stay under 1200cal. I'm down 10 pounds!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted February 16, 2015 Yeah, every surgeon has their own requirements. Some just require high protein/low carb, some require Protein Shakes only, some allow for some vegetables, some allow sugar-free Jello and popsicles. Some surgeons don't require a pre-op diet at all!
