Cheating on the liquid pre-op diet :(



Recommended Posts

I cheated 3 times in 10 days right at the beginning. I pulled it together for the remaining time. My liver was still large but thankfully they were still able to do it vie keyhole. However I imagine my liver must have been very fatty because I still had a good 6 days of only baratric shakes and nothing the day before surgery. I belive it must have shrunk some but not as much if I hadn't cheated. Btw-I have not cheated at all post op.

I still have 5 months left of supervised diet. I worry about the 2 week pre op liquid diet, why can't the give appetite suppressants?

Most appetite suppressants aren't good for you and can cause surgical complications. If you are already worried about needing an appetite suppressant pre-op then I would encourage you to get counseling during your 5 months pre-surgery. You need to change your relationship with food - not by using an appetite suppressant.

Just was asking, I'm 5 months away and maintain 1200 to 1400 call diet range. My doctor requires two weeks only Clear Liquids that's why I asked just seems like you'd be very hungry

      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.
