1500 cal diet pre surgery

[mandyq1985 18]

This diet is killing me. I feel hungry all the time. I know it's probably just my mind wanting things just because I know I can't. Words of encouragement please!!!

1500 is a lot, what are you eating that you aren't full?

I haven't started it yet but I know is going to be hard but the thing I have to tell my self is I am going to be happy again. I don't know if that helps but maybe go for a walk or something to hello not think about it. I am telling you stuff and I have been through it yet but I might be needing you soon.hasn't in there.

It's not a lot in comparison to what I'm used to eating. I have eaten a lot of Greek yogurt. Grilled chicken. Veggies. Trying to get Protein and eat mostly healthy. Like I said I don't know if it's a mind game I'm playing with myself just knowing I can't have what I want and making me feel hungry.

It is a mind game, because you have limits on what you can and cant have! Be thankful you aren't on one of the harsher stricter pre-op diets. Mine was 3 Protein drinks and liquids. I averaged 500-600 calories a day. Enjoy making the best healthy meals that you can on what you allowed, and know that these next 4 days will soon be over!

Sounds like a mind game. Just relax. You can totally do this.

I'm on my two week pre-surgery diet. And I can only eat 800cal (my dr. Provided the food) and 64oz of Water a day....it sucks and is really difficult especially when your cooking "normal" food for your family. I have been struggling with headaches and I assume it's because of the no sugar.

Maybe you should switch some things out for a Protein Shake.< /p>

I'm also supposed to be on a 1500 calorie diet but I haven't started yet. I need to go on a major grocery shopping trip tomorrow. My NUT told me to do 350 calories for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then two 200 calorie Snacks. At least one meal is to be replaced by a Protein Shake and fruit. My surgery isn't until at least mid-June, so I'm in it for the long haul.

Give it a few days to get used to it. I went from 2200 to 1800, then to 1500. When I went from 1800 to 1500, I found that it took a few days to NOT be starving. I tried to fill up on fruit, like apples and maybe cheese. It helped if I added a Protein Shake into the mix. I was told to hit 90-100 gm of Protein, and if I did that, I was OK. Good luck!!!
