My first of pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

Today is my first day and to say I'm hungry is an understatement. So far I've had two Protein shakes and 32 ounces of Powerade Zero and it's hard to get my mind off food. My protocol is 30 days on this diet. I just got back from the store with free food I can have pickles, celery, sugar-free Jell-O and cucumbers. I feel like I could make a meal of that. I get to have five Protein Shakes, 4 ounces of lean Protein, One cup of fruit and one cup of vegetable a day. 1 foot in front of the other I guess.

I know the pain. It was bad for about 4 days. Then it got so much better. Now I am post op and it is worse. I want something but it is hard to figure out exactly what.

I see every ones posts and you all talk about Protein drinks and cottage cheese and more. My Dr. says only skim milk broth sugar free Popsicle,Jello ,No Protein shakes ! just tea and thin liquids. Has anyone else had to do this? Oh and I have to do it for 21 days. I just don't know if this is possible ? My weight is 255 and my goal is 165. Please if you had to do this tell me how I can get past this.

This is weird and unhealthy, there would be muscle loss without protein for so long?

Would you double check with your doctor or nutritionist?

      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?
