Liquid Pre-Op Diet

[ange117 93]

I'm on day 3 and I've been doing good until now (3pm). Oooooh, that hunger is setting in! Tummy cramps, headache--the whole works! I'm pounding Water to try to take the edge off until my next shake, but I'll be glad once the ketosis starts up and this gnawing hunger dies down!!!

Anybody else going through their pre-op diet right now???

Yes, I am also on day 3! I'm hanging in by a thread! Surpringly I lost 3.5 # and I did cheat yesterday. But am focused today, spent the day out shopping and didn't think about food at all! Just bought a boat load of SF Jello. Hang in there, you are not alone

Honestly, the hardest time for me seems to be at work! Mostly because I'm trying to focus, which is not easy between having a headache and being a little dizzy. Each day will get a little easier, yeah?

According to the scale, I've lost about 8lbs since Sunday, but I think that's a little biased because I had an upper endoscopy/colonoscopy done yesterday, so I spent Monday only drinking Clear liquids instead of Protein shakes, and all the prep medicine really emptied things out. I'm not going to complain though, getting this weight off is the whole goal!

Stay strong!

I am on day 3 of preop liquid diet and try eating ice since it counts as Water and u get to eat and as much as you want. I have also found sugar free gum kills the cravings.

Honestly, I'm not sure! My program has had me taking Calcium and a Multivitamin since the first time I walked through the door. I'm also talking Vitamin d and B12 for preexisting deficiencies, so I'm basically already taking everything I'll need after surgery.

I think it's wise to check with your program, but simple logic also tells me that 3 Protein shakes and one small meal a day cannot provide the Vitamins your body needs.

Y'all hang in there!! The 3rd day is the worst and then it gets easier. You are almost there! Go to bed early and shut the door to stay out of the kitchen if you have to! ???? you can do this!!!

I haven't had my procedure done yet and my biggest problem snacking is in the evening

Yea I haven't had the surgery yet either I'm going in on April 4. Same here so what I have done is moving my shakes around so I'm spacing them to a point where I can have my last shake at 8pm and I'm not hungry when I'm watching tv

[ange117 93]

My answer to evening hunger has been to sip a cup of broth. Because I'm drinking sweet Protein Shakes all day, the savory helps it feel more like 'dinner' and seems to sate me a little better. The flavor is a nice change, too. Might be worth a shot if you're allowed to have it!
