Pre-opt liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Well it's day two of my pre-opt liquid diet and I'm starving. I can hear my co-workers crunching away on food:(

I feel your pain. I'm on day three. How many weeks do you have? I have to do 3. I don't have co-workers, but family to deal with.

2 weeks so I guess I can't complain too much

Really depends on the doctor. Some are two shakes and just one meal with 4oz of meat two cups of veggies, others three shakes a day, some don't have pre opt diet, so many variations

Ugh yesterday (day 2) was worse than today. I have to have 5 shakes a day (already sick of them) ... then I get one serving of starch, fruit and veggie a day. I wish I could have some meat! Switching things around here and there to see what works best. It all sucks but it'll all be worth it in the end....or at least what I'm telling myself to get through thelse 2 damn weeks! Good luck to everyone!

Hang in there. I'm 7 days post op and the liquid diet sucked for the first 5 or so days. After that, I felt great, had a ton of energy and wasn't even hungry. It'll get better.

This gives me hope because I feel like I am dying on day 2 lol. My body is detoxing and making me feel ill (massive headache, night sweats, vomitting) just a few more days. It's crazy that I have done this to my body and all of the toxins that are in me. The way I feel right now just confirms that I have a serious food addiction.

Hang in the ladies.

So glad you posted this. I am on day 7 of a 2 week pre-op Protein Shake diet; and am STARVING!! I am beginning to get concerned with my experience after the ByPass.. will I feel like this most of the time? Right now I can eat some lettuce when it gets really bad, but after the procedure solid food will be a long way off.

      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.
