Pre-op Friends -- What did you eat today?



Recommended Posts

I am on day two of my pre-op diet. I'm sticking to it but I'm struggling at the same time. I thought I would struggle less on a workday with all of the distractions -- WRONG. At least at home I could just take a nap.

I've had two Protein Shakes and a Protein Soup so far today. I'm looking forward to a sugar-free Jello and some chicken broth later. What's your plan for getting through the day?

You can do it just drink a lot of Water keeps you full. Drink lots of broth. I also drank a lot of Ice tea. Stay busy do things so you don't think about food.

Thanks Icemom. I'm not getting nearly enough Water. In fact, barely any. I have to do better with Water.

I'm on day 8 of my pre-op diet and today has honestly been one of the worst in terms of cravings. I did a lot of heavy duty housework yesterday and my muscles are killing me -- I think this might be why Protein Shakes just aren't cutting it today! So far I've had a shake, a Protein pudding, and a sf Jello for lunch. I'm about to have my second shake before class, and then tilapia with a cucumber salad for dinner (my plan allows real food for one meal, thank god!). I've also been sipping on Propel Water and diet citrus green tea!

Today was the easiest for me because I wasn't home all day. It's a lot harder when I am home to not have cravings. Frosty Protein shake, string cheese and baby carrots, two poached eggs over a bed of greens.

My is surgery date is 04-04-2016 and I'm on second day of Pre-Op diet. I'm with you Tobysgirl already dying of hunger. :-( Mine isn't a total liquid diet, I am able to eat one lean Protein and veggies a day, and drink 4 Protein shakes, popsicle, broth, and pickles. I can do this but my stomach is saying no way!!! I counted it's right around 1000 calories a day for two long, very, long weeks.

You all can do it. It's hard but doable. I had my surgery on 5/29/15.

Do you know about plant nanny? If u like games or old school Tamigochi. ...you drink, you get to Water your plant. But, it uses the drink half your body weight oz so just double your required oz per day. Funny way to stay motivated to get your Water in.

      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.
