Have a pre-op testing Sept.27th if all goes well I have a tentative date of Oct. 4th. Extremely nervous and excited also.

You won't have to do a pre-op diet?

After the first initial meeting with my surgeon in July, I started substituting one meal a day with the Protein Drink and began drinking 32-64 oz. of Water. By the middle of August I increased it to two Protein Drinks and 64 oz. of water As of Sept .20th, I have been on the complete pre-op diet.

A daily meal plan for the patient’s pre-op liquid diet may look like this:

preop-sample-meal-plan-table.jpgtry to follow something like this. I was told i could sneak in a 4 oz piece of chicken boiled in broth, and have unlimited sugar free ice pops ( only 15 calories each, so 20 is only 300 calories..lol)

I snuck an egg yesterday - try for the feedback - I'm starving the food smells so good lol

a boiled egg is fine. you can also have a non fat low/no sugar greek yogurt..I think the hardest part is not chewing anything all day, so I bought sugar free gum.In the long run, it'll be worth the sacrifice now. Stay strong!

I'm so hungry! Day 5

Keep drinking fluids every hour. Eat sugar free Jello or have sugar free ice pops. Hang in there, your sacrifice before surgery helps pave the way for your future. I believe in you.YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

      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.
