Worried about pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

I know it's wheel power.. I worked night shift and late night shifts since 1999... So I'm used to sleeping till noon and being up all night working. They switched my shift and now I get off a little earlier (8pm) and now I am up all night.. So of course I can't sleep even prescribed sleep meds. This is gonna be a challenge!! I start the 2 week liquid diet the 15th.

Variety is what saved me on the pre-op diet, and the liquid portion of the post op diet.

Swanson Mexican tortilla broth, Mio flavored Water, Crystal Lights, Vitamin Water Zero, Gatorade G2, Egg Drop Soup, Unsweet teas, flavored hot teas, etc... Syntrax Nectars were what I found to be my favorite Protein drink but the Premier Protein are also good.

The first few days are the hardest, but you can do this.

Oops... I never tried Syntrax nectars.. Where you find that?

Good to know about the different broths.. Thanks

      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?

      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.
