Ways to switch up the pre op diet!



Recommended Posts

I am jealous of everyone that gets yogurt, I would kill for one right now. I am on strict liquids which includes Protein Drinks, sugar free jellos, and sugar free popsicles. I was watching youtube and found a hint from someone - they took Soups (I use French Onion and Chickenderia) and strained all the solids out. I hate the taste of bland chicken and beef broth but these taste good. I currently have Chickenderia going in my little crockpot (holds 2 cups) with some added cilantro.

Umm that sounds so yummy! I might have to try that!

oh maybe I will call then. I am 3-4 Protein Shakes a day, clear broth, I tried the thai one yesterday and it was so spicy, that I may do a splash of it in the chicken. I can do the sugar free popsicles, they were gross, the Jello is eh, but it is not a shake or broth - LOL. I have been adding Metamucil for Fiber too, and that helps feel full. I ate a no sugar added 40 calorie fudgsicle last night. It was good, which leads me to believe although it is on the full liquid diet list, post op, I cannot eat it now. ONLY 6.5 MORE DAYS!

Omg where can you even find these? I have been to 6 different stores and nothing! I love spicy!!!!! I need to add some type of probiotic because this Protein is constipating! Whoop whoop only 6 days after today!

It was very yummy. I strained everything, added fresh cilantro then added the chicken Soup Unjry powder. I tried last time with the unflavored directly into my French Onion broth and that was BAD. I found out if you take 1/4 c Water and the packet of chicken soup in a shaker (i used cold but I suppose lukewarm Water would be fine) then added the mix into my soup it was fine.

      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.
