Trial run on pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

I am doing a trial run on the pre-op diet that my doctor gave me and I know that sounds wired , but I just wanted to see how strong and committed I could be.. it will probably be close to the end of the year before I have it done.. u have to submit labs and clearance from my primary physician. . I also have to pay my part I owe the doctor before he preforms the surgery.. so that means I will have to either use some sort of credit or save up and pay it with cash..

I just started my pre op diet 2 weeks ago. I have lost most Water weight and have had no cravings until today. I have been feeling a bit ill though today so I am not on my regular routine. The diet is not as hard as I thought it would be. I think the hardest thing is making sure you get your Protein in and coming up with a wide variety of recipes to keep your diet exciting. Best of luck to you!

You can do it! It helps to have a social atmosphere like this. You get tons of support from people who are going through or have already gone through the same thing. Good Luck and remember, you can do this!!

      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.
