Pre-Op Gastric Bypass



Recommended Posts

It is totally normal. It is a very tough time, but it gets easier about day 3 or 4. Lots of broth, lots of sugar free popsicles, lots of tea.... You will get through it. Just try and keep reminding yourself of you are working for and how worth it that it will all be in the end. Good luck! You got this!!

I'm right there with you. I just started the clear liquid diet and I literally don't trust myself to be near food right now!! And I feel waterlogged!!

And the headaches....arg! Detoxing I guess.

It will be all worth it (my mantra) :)

Hey hun today I officially start day for of pre-op liquid diet. It gets easier and yes at first you will be HUNGRY. To help I took ice and blended my Protein shakes with it (once or twice a day) it helped to make me feel more fool- even if it was just ice lol

Hope Your Day is Great,

I only have to do is a one week liquid diet. I'm on day 5. Weekend I'm finding harder since I'm not at work. Normally weekends were my "cheat days" we're I'd eat more than I would during the week.

So, only being able to eat certain things at a certain times is hard but I'm dealing. Sadly, I have been craving food like crazy. Mostly food I would never crave. This whole process is really weird.

I am always surprised to hear about other pre op diets. Mine is restrictive but not liquid at all. I can have 800 calories and 80 or more of Protien. They gave me a menu sample and lots of yogurts lean meats etc .i know I will miss caffeine the most and my glass of wine with dinner!

I'm sure I will be whining about the lack of wine.

      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.
