I had surgery 5/2 and am down 65# since the preop diet that started two weeks prior.

My typical day:
B: coffee and wake up wrap from dunks
L: 2oz deli ham and 3 cracker slices of cheddar
S: turkey pepperoni
D: egg beater omelette with ham and cheese and bacon on the side.

I'm usually around 600-700cals and 60 g of Protein. I try between 25-50 carbs.


I tolerate all carbs well (unfortunately). chicken is hard for me. It needs to be really moist. No ground beef but ground turkey is ok. Shrimp and some baked fish are good. Nothing fried or creamy. No thick gravy or sauces. Protein Shakes make me sick so I have to work to get my protein from food. Straight milk makes me sick.

      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.
