What to consume preop



Recommended Posts

I just started my pre-op diet, and I purchased several Soups from Bariatric Pal online. They delivered in about two days., and you get a discount on your first purchase. The creamy veg is really good. I have chicken and Tomato on the way. I honestly could not make it without this Soup option for my Protein. I am sick of chocolate and vanilla shakes. There is a new product I bought at Wal mart called LIFT protien drinks. It is more like a lemonade made by Atkins. My nutritionist said it was good pre and post op. It is clear liquid w/ 20 gms Protein. I eat roasted chicken or turkey or lean ham on spinach leaves with tomato and vinegar, or stir fry or grill chicken with yellow squash and zucchini for my meals. I go to a Olive Oil/Vinegar specialty shop ( in our local upscale shopping center) and buy exotic vinegar ( strawberry, champagne pear, apricot walnut, etc....) They are super yummy, and I do not miss dressing at all this way. I hate the fake low cal/fat dressings in the market. It is pretty limited. You can get sugar free popsicles at Wal Mart really cheap. and SF Jello. I can honestly say by Blood Sugar is now normal. Good Luck. I really do not eat very much to begin with, so I have not had a hunger problem AT all...just an " I want" problem. LOL! I cannot say enough about the protein Soup on this site's product line. It is saving me flavor wise! I will probably buy this for many years to come after surgery!

      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.
