Day One of Pre-Op Diet...I think I'd rather just starve.



Recommended Posts

I have been drinking Premier brand shakes(walmart,SAMs,Cosco) they really pretty good. Even better over ice. Yes it be worth it. My surgery is Tuesday. 7/7.

Hang in there I it is hard. But we are having this surgery for reason I keep telling myself that.

Why do you have to eat this way before the sleeve? Do all surgeons require this.

I think they vary but most do. It has to do with shrinking your liver down for the surgery. Your doctor should explain it to you

Don't give up it really will be worth it. I did just what they told an I haven't had any problems. An I'm 3 weeks out yesterday. Eating chicken, refried Beans. An chewing well I feel great I've lost 20 pounds. Don't get on a hurry remember We didn't gain this weight over night an we shouldn't expect to lose over night. I'm so glad I have had procedure done

I didn't have a specific brand to eat/drink, but what got me through was that I kept telling myself I could do anything for / weeks. I was so afraid of not shrinking my liver enough to have it laparoscopically! I'm day 8 post-op (band to sleeve revision) and it's getting better each day! Hang in there!!

Hello! I began my pre-op diet today as well :) In my case it's for 2 weeks and I am on the 'Bariatric Advantage' product per my doc. It's the Protein powder shakes (I got chocolate, orange cream, and strawberry) and also the Protein Bars. I'm supposed to be on 4-5 shakes and 1-2 bars per day (plus all the crystal light I can drink).

The bars look like something I might clean up after my cat (gross) but don't taste too bad. The shakes will take some getting used to, pretty chalky but not too bad. I'll have to see how I feel about it in a few days :(

Hang in there!

Hi! I'm starting my pre op diet on Aug 5th. My doc also put me on the Bariatric Advantage shakes. ....but what Protein Bars are you using? ....and what is the pudding? I don't want to miss out on any "tasty" treats! : )

      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.
