Sushine3099 hang on in there. I m having my surgery on the 14th of May and today is my second pre op diet day and tonight when I was making my salad I was thinking I will go nuts until the end. We have to do it. No excuses, no going back. We need to loose all that Water from our liver otherwise we gonna be fat for the rest of our lives. Do u want that? I don't. I want to be able to run alongside my little man, take him swimming without being afraid of what might people say, climb trees, jump up and down with him all day and so many other things I can't do at the moment. I have been fat all my life since childhood. I'm gonna be 30 soon and I want to be a new me!! We can do this!

salad? I only get Protein shakes 6 a day, no solid food what so ever. The shakes are not agreeing with me, I am running to the bathroom

Yeah. I was given by my dietitian 4 options of pre op diets, 3 which were liquid and a last one where I am allowed to eat like this: breakfast: 40 g of cereals(daily ration of milk 200 ml) or one slice of toast(brown bread I eat) with low fat spread(sparingly only) +1egg+1 tomato(I do a salad of Tomato and cucumber)

lunch is 50g of rice,pasta, pulses(choose 1 and measure 50g-not 50g of each) + vegetables as many as I want from the free veggies column+up to 175g of uncooked lean meat

dinner same

I am allowed to eat 2 fruits a day+low fat/low sugar yogurt under 10g of sugar/100g of yogurt.

I am not allowed any salad dressings or mayo. Only 1 tea spoon of olive oil, lemon/lime and balsamic vinegar and I can eat in reasonable quantities sugar free home made jelly+black coffee+tea with sweetener.

In uk is different.

I know it seams a lot of food for someone who doesn't eat anything but trust me it isn't .

Omg I would be in heaven if I had that. Try doing nothing but the liquid shakes for two weeks. I don't have a choice. Two days before surgery I go to just chicken broth, sobe zero , Water

I can only think how hard it must be. This is why I didn't choose the liquid diet. Hang on in there, it will soon be over. Good luck!

Hello I don't have a surgery date yet. The Bariatric center I use only do the orientation once a month and I missed April and May so I have to wait until June 6 to get any information about surgery. I'm 46.

I am Ele I had my surgery April 20th.

I am new to this but I can help with any pre-op I know how nervous you can get and scared. My doctor puts everyone on Xanax for two weeks before and boy did that help! We even. Took it the morning before surgery. If you're very very scared don't be afraid to ask for it. It is for anxiety.

Good luck to everyone of you. ♡

I lost 40 pounds pre-op I was only supposed to lose 25 I didn't do liquid diet I wasn't given a diet by my doctor. I drink the shake in the morning and at night I had a big bowl of homemade Soup it's what I ate for 4 months. My doctor was elated with me.

Good luck ♡

Sup all...I currently pre-op working through my checklist of all the medical test and screenings. I am shooting to get a surgery date in April/May. I see there hasn't been any post in this area in a long time. Hopefully I can connect with patients in my age group, but Any age is welcome though. Holla if you want. In the meantime, I will keep checking out post in other areas.

Hey!

I'm new to this app... having my surgery on 7.31 so this is soooo helpful. Your transformation was amazing! Where did you have your surgery done?
