Recommended Posts

You are warriors remember that! I am one week out til surgery and I am getting nervous and scared as I am very high risk...BMI is 79 a couple of weeks ago after losing 75 lbs. I hate this 2 week liquid diet too, but I keep telling myself this is how it has to be to reach my goal to live a happier healthy life. Just think about your health, shopping, quality of life, being more active without hurting and that will get you thru I promise. Wishing you and everyone else the best.

Today is day 8 of my liquid diet. My surgeon requires 14 days of an entirely liquid diet, but I allowed myself cooked veggies on days 4 and 5. So, I guess I technically cheated. I am doing good now, though. I have my pre-op apt in 2 days, hoping to see a good amount of weight lost so far! I have been avoiding the scale so that I won't be obsessive. How's everyone else doing? Any other "cheaters"? haha

To bjcarver,

I haven't cheated but it seems like my pre surgery diet is different. I have 3 to 4 Protein Shakes a day, then a Lean Cusine meal or that type 350 calories or less.

Today, the day before my surgery, I am really packing in the liquid. Then for dinner I am going to have a big fluffy salad with lots of green, cooked ground turkey and ricotta cheese. Some lite ranch or cesar dressing or lemon pepper sprinkle and I should be good.

Nothing after midnight, but I should be in bed by 9 or 10. So that will be my last of anything which will probably be lemon Water or perhaps some Jello.

I'm ready for tomorrow.

      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.
