How Much did you loose on your two week pre surgery diet?



Recommended Posts

Am almost half way through and was wondering just how much everyone else has lost?

I only lost 2 lbs on the liquid diet! I can't believe it, but it's true. I know taking 2 oral diabetes meds and 2 different kinds of insulin doesn't help, but I was quite surprised. I stuck to that diet, completely.

@ - I start my liquid diet Thursday (I only have to do 1 week for some reason). Did you lower your metformin during the liquid diet and/or have any low blood sugar moments? Sort of concerned about that.

@@Daisee68 Hi, No, I didn't lower my metformin. My Dr. had me stop my Glipizide before I started the liquid diet, and I had low readings, but not too low that I got sick.

Two days after surgery I stopped needing my short acting insulin (Humalog), Metformin and Glipizide. The only thing I take now, after surgery, is 50 units of Lantus. I suspect that will go down too, as I'm getting readings in the morning in the high 80's now!!! It's like I don't have diabetes anymore. Trust me, I came from having readings in the 400's and 300's often! I am amazed.

      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.
