day 2 of preop liquid diet and I messed up!



Recommended Posts

Every pre-op diet is so different. Mine is 10 days and I'm allowed 3 Protein Drinks, 2 cups broth, 1 cup thicker Soup like Tomato, 1 nf yogurt and 1 oatmeal packet per day plus clear fluids. I've lost 10-12 pounds in 8 days and do feel hungry and light headed but shrinking my liver is worth it.

Its not about the weight loss during this liquid diet phase, its about shrinking your liver so the surgeon has easier access to your stomach. If it has not shrunk, they may get in there and not be able to do surgery, so I have been told.

I'm aware but what cause the liver to shrink weight loss or not eating solid foods is what's confusing me but I'm back on track.

The liver shrinks from low carb food. It depletes the glycogen stored in your liver.

I too am on day 2 of the 2 week liquid diet. I don't have any helpful hints, but I'm here if you need any support. I have a menu that I'm following and it seems to help me keep to the strict diet.

I had to do a 2 week diet and I surprised the [emoji90] out of myself and didn't cheat. Don't get me wrong it was hard especially when my family was in the next room eating pizza. But I used the Premier Protein shakes and the Syntrax Nectar shakes (peach and grape are my faves) and drank lots of broth. I put lemon pepper in the chicken and Italian seasoning in the beef. Had lots of sugar free Jello too. Just stick with it. It will go faster than you think. I cried the day before thinking I couldn't do it and I did. You got this!!! This is just a small snapshot in the larger picture.

Premier Protein Shakes 3 times daily and an 8 oz glass of fat free milk at lunch and dinner. I can also have sugar free Jello, popsicles, low sodium and low fat broth.
I'm hungry all day so I can do a 4th shake until day 4. They said it gets easier by then.

      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.
