Pre-op diet--> I'm not hungry until..........



Recommended Posts

I am doing really good on my pre-op diet. I do not think of food or get hungry until I see a commercial for something I love. I never really noticed how much TV ads can influence us. ????. But I haven't cheated. Staying Strong!!!

Today is day 2 of pre op diet, my surgery is scheduled for December 11th. I haven't cheated either and I'm not really hungry but I just want to eat all the things that I can't have! ???? When is your surgery?

Hi!

I too will have my surgery too. I am a bit nervous about the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I guess I better read instead of watching TV in the evening!

What helps us is watching everything a day behind. This way when we watch what is on our DVR we can just skip all commercials. But that often doesn't work. Haha!

Amen! I almost turned it to Diners, Drive-ins & Dives the other day and quickly remembered that was a no-no. ????

I know!

It seems like the whole world revolves around food. Every holiday it's all about food. Treats for kids are always food. it's crazy

Yeah and I love to bake around the Holidays so it will be hard this year!

I am four weeks RNY post-op. I still enjoy watching my favorite programs on the Food Network. Now when I see the chefs doing a recipe; I am trying to figure out if I could make that a "healthier recipe".

I'm on day 14.

And it's EXACTLY the same for me.

Unnerving but also instructive of what my 'hunger' is made of....so much WANT, not so much NEED.

      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.
