SAL421 48 Posted September 25, 2016 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? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jambam-44 18 Posted September 25, 2016 I'm Oct 4th too! How is your pre op diet going? I am only consuming around 550 calories, feel like I'm going to starve!! Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SAL421 48 Posted September 25, 2016 I have surgery Oct 4 - started Optifast all liquid diet for 14 days - on day 2 liquid and IM STARVING - anyone else? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App A daily meal plan for the patient’s pre-op liquid diet may look like this: try 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SAL421 48 Posted September 25, 2016 I snuck an egg yesterday - try for the feedback - I'm starving the food smells so good lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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.
