2 Week Pre-Op question



Recommended Posts

I am on day 2 of doing my 2 week pre-op fasting - 5 slim fasts per day, chicken/beef broth, sugar free ice pops and Jello, diet/caffiene free soda and iced tea, Water, Decaf coffee.

I am shaky from head to toe, I'm not starving, just a little hungry, and very shaky. I have a slight headache and I am extremely lethargic.

Did anyone else feel this way?

:cry

My pre-op was nt ad, but I did a Protein Shake for Bfast and dinner with a small lunch. If you can stop the soda's now, it will make it easier later. I would consult your dr and see if you can modify your diet a little. Yours seems extreme to me......Dave

Mine is a three week pre-op but it is low fat, low cal, 1000 cal/day. I have had an incredible headache all afternoon, today was my first day, hopefully I can get through this and tomorrow will be better. I am feeling a bit hungry too.

That was me on day 2, headache so bad, and vomiting for 3 hours, I felt like sh*t. Anyway I have slightly modified the diet to include some fish or chicken and seems to be ok.. Hoping this isnt going to affect my liver!!!!!! I have lost 3 kilos in a week though.

I'm feeling somewhat better today, the slight headache isn't as bad as it was, but it is still there. The shakiness is calming down some. I'm not HUNGRY, I get little twinges of hunger here and there. I've been keeping myself full on broth and coffee and other fluids. And then I woke up this morning with IT - talk about kicking me while I'm down!!!!

I did okay. Creamy Soups really helped me. YOu can have anything that can fit through a straw. The Soup really made the difference.

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY, STOPPPPPPP!!!!!!

Stop telling people stuff like this!!! You might be WRONG, and guess what, you WERE WRONG! This poster is on her pre-op and CANNOT HAVE "creamy soups" or "anything that can fit through a straw." And post-op, I'm guessing if she is not yet at the full liquid stage (i.e. is still on clears only) she STILL couldn't have "anything that can fit through a straw."

SHEESH, how MANY times do I have to BEG and PLEAD with you to STOP posting what someone can eat??? You DO NOT KNOW, and NEITHER DO I unless they post exactly what their diet is. We are NOT THEIR SURGEON.

I know to those who still could have food this seems extreme, but mine was actually worse. At least the OP can have five Slim Fasts a day...mine was a prescribed liquid diet that equalled out to about 700 calories a day, now that was seriosuly extreme. But I guess it was in the name of shrinking the liver.

      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.
