Recommended Posts

I started yesterday its tough! I will have surgery on 12/19 also. Today I tried to have something every 2 hours (coffee, shake, chicken broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, hot tea) and drinking Water in between to feel full.

I'm not to that point yet but did have to do a clear liquid diet for 24 hours last week. I was dreading it but also knew it would give me a tiny idea of what's to come. I ended up doing quite well with it, only getting hungry at one and five. Both times I guzzled down some Water and the hunger was gone.

I started mine on Monday. The first day was the hardest so far for me. Horrible headaches, stomach pain, and sleepiness. The headache I know was from not having coffee. You can do this. Remember the reason you are doing this!

I started my preop diet yesterday (getting sleeved in Mexico 12/21).

I purchased every flavor of broth and several different flavors of Crystal Light type packets. I have vanilla, chocolate, banana and caramel shakes, and I have those bottles flavor extracts from the baking aisle (peppermint, cherry, orange, lemon, maple, etc.) to add to my shakes for different flavors. I haven't actually used those for shakes (I bake a lot) but I know it's a legal way to jazz up the shakes when I get to that point.

Get a VARIETY of flavors of everything that you are allowed. Don't just stock up on one type of broth and one type of drink powder and one flavor of shake.

I like novelty, it's why I'm fat. If I didn't have half dozen broth options, a number of sugar free drink flavors, and infinite shake flavor possibilities, I would lose my mind.

Also, don't allow yourself to run completely out of broth, shakes, or drink stuff. Don't put yourself in a vulnerable situation, it's hard enough as it is.

Oh my oh my I think I found a way to get through this liquid diet. I had some Decaf coffee (I am allowed on my diet) I hadn't finished yet so when it was time for my 3:00pm vanilla Protein shake I added some to my coffee and it was delicious! Felt like I was having one of those fancy drinks from Starbucks! This will officially become my 3:00pm treat to get me over the afternoon hump!

      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.
