Pre operation diet

Each surgeon varies in what they require. Have you met with a surgeon? His/her team will help guide you.

My Dr required me to do a full liquid diet for 2 weeks. Was so very hard I won't lie to you . I cried every day for the first 3-4 days around supper time. Its really hard and takes a lot of will power. I'm 3 days post op I find it so much easier now with my small pouch ,good luck

I am also hoping to have surgery within the next six months! I meet with my dietitian and the surgeon in a week. I have started drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast and eating a Protein Bar between breakfast and lunch, I didn't eat in the mornings before so I started doing this to wake up my metabolism. Unfortunately (or possibly fortunately) my home scale died so I haven't weighed myself to see if noticed a good change. I feel like I've actually gained, no clothes are fitting me [emoji20] definitely discouraging. I'm curious to hear what they recommend for your diet!

I have started replacing two meals with Protein shakes or Protein Bars since I first met with my Dr. He said that was great it would make the surgery easier. I have about 2.5 more months until surgery.

When I started June 22, I was put on a 1500-1800 cal diet with max of 120g Protein and 150g carb. Quickly found out I could not eat that many calories. For last several month, I have been able to reduce to 1000 or less calories a day. Eleven days into LD has not been a problem.

Just got 4 containers of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. Made a glass with low sodium chicken broth and was wonderful on a cold day in N Fla.

      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.
