Anyone Low Carbing for Pre-Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is December 6, and I am in the 2 week pre op liver shrinking phase. I drink 3 high Protein shakes and eat several cups of greens per day. I have lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks, I don't get Migraines, but I get really tired around 8pm. I am a little worried about Thanksgiving with the family, but I think a small piece of turkey will be ok. Any one else have any Holiday concerns?

I'm going to do my best to stick with turkey and greens plus I'm making mashed cauliflower. I need to check the carb content of gravy. I know I'm going to be disappointed! I might see if I can find a low carb recipe.

Low carb? I've got this starvation thing with Protein shakes, 2 pieces of fruit and one cup of veggies a day!! My head is killing and I'm super weak

I low-carbed up to the 2 week liquid diet.

The liquid diet for me was 3-4 Protein shakes per day....very low carb shakes.< /p>

I stuck with this same liquid diet for the month after surgery as well.

Looking back on it now....13 months later......I wouldn't change a thing about how I approached it.

Grateful for the weight loss.

Three days to go! I could have done better on Thanksgiving but I've lost weight since and I have all the ketosis symptoms so I think I'm on track. I am so ready!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
