Less than one week till Surgery...



Recommended Posts

I don't know if I'm ready. Staying on the liquids has been so hard, and there has been a couple day I've cheated and had a single bit of food or a chip or two. The temptation has been the hardest part. I keep thinking to myself if this next week I stay totally clear of solids everything will be okay and I'll be able to do the surgery still... Should I call the doctors office on Monday and come clean with only 4 days till the operation?

I would say no not to call but from this day forward to make sure you stick to it very strictly......some doctors don't require a liquid diet so a couple of cheats during the first week probably didn't hurt you......but the week leading up to the surgery you need to keep your eye on the prize and have no cheating all week. Good luck!

I don't think a few bites are going to be an issue. This next week be sure to stick with your pre-op diet and all should be fine! Good luck! I am reading this book recommended to me by someone on this site and by my Psychiatrist and I'm using my pre-op time (6 long months) to learn how to stop emotional eating.

      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.
