2 weeks pre-op. Starting 2 week liquid diet tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I'm having RNY March 16th. I am new to the forum and would appreciate any support I can get. My family and close friends have been great but they're 'normal' weight. What ever that is.

I heard the first 2 days of the pre-op liquid are the worst. I also just started my monthly cycle so I'm totally stressing. Any words of encouragement that helped you please send them my way. Thanks

You've got this !!! You've come this far to opt out now !!!! I just had my beginners class 2/23 and I have my date to see the surgeon on 3/20 to FINALLY get a date for actual surgery and when I start my liquids . Not going to lie that 10 days really has me worried as well ! But I'm so ready to get this done and over and actually start living my life !!

I'm also having surgery on 3/16. Congratulations and good luck. I began the two week pre op diet today too and I'm hungrier than I would have been on any other day. I think it's just the stress as the day gets closer and it becomes more real. At least we don't have to do this alone!

Day 1 on pre-op diet: success! I think the excitement of being so close helped.

It's great knowing there are others going through the same things as me. Beth83 and BetterMEsoon please keep me posted. Congratulations!

1st day liquid diet. Not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm guessing it had to do a lot with work being so busy. But honestly I looked at my lipstick today and thought it was a tootsie roll. (I don't even like chocolate)... Let's see what day 2 brings...

I've almost made it through day 1 of my pre-op diet. Heading to bed very soon. All I can think about right now is a snack so it's best I go sleep! Lol

      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.
