Day 1 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Today starts the first day of my two-week preop liquid diet. I can only have four Protein Shakes per day and can only use Bariatric Advantage. Bariatric advantage Protein is so gross! I am gagging it down. This afternoon I got the worst headache and felt nauseous. How my going to do this for two weeks? When does this get easier?

I was allowed these Isopure (no carb vanilla and very low carb chocolate and strawberry) I have not tried the Bariatric Advantage although it was on the approved list. I wish I would have bought an immersion blender when I started. Lumpy Protein shakes are not so great.

So many of the Protein Shakes are made to help people gain weight and muscle etc. Hang in there. It is just a couple of weeks and it will be so awesome on the other side!

You CAN do this!!!

Today I started my first day of my 3 day pre-op diet. Things went pretty well. I drank a Peanut Butter chocolate Protein Shake for Breakfast, vanilla Protein shale for lunch. I had some chicken broth and sugar free popsicle for snack.

I had a headache for about 4 to 5 hrs. I took some Tylenol for it. Then for dinner I had 2ozs of tuna. I had a pretty good first day and wasnt that hungry. I just hope that Iwil eventually be able to make my protein goal. I had a hard time drinking those two shakes. I just wanted to give up. I would have rather not had anything. They just seemed to thick. I mixed it with 8ozs of fat free milk. Day of surgery will be here before i know.

      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.
