PRE -PRE surgery weight loss...recipes?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Newbie Terri here. Saw my surgeon Wednesday, almost there! He wants me to lose 10-15 pounds pre-surgery. I then saw his nutritionist yesterday and she gave me a Keto food plan to assist in this weight loss. I dont have a surgery date so this isnt a pre-surgery plan...there's too many non-clear liquidy things on the list...LOL

I've had some success on the Atkins plan but this looks a little different since I am allowed coffee, nuts, seeds, Protein Shakes and 1 serving of fruit a day.

Does anyone have any good keto recipes or direct me to a good bariatric keto blog?

I don't know what I don't know so please help me :) thank you

Pinterest is a magical place for recipes. Personally I would start there.
Good luck!

My husband told me I am over reading about the surgery. [emoji849] However, I feel like all of the information and stories are helping me to go into this with realistic expectations.

Im just trying to soak in all of the good, positive wisdom on this site. There are a few posts that Ive got caught up in reading that has the typical Downer Debbie's but that usually gets shut down pretty quickly!

Lots of really helpful 'losers' here :) I love that they're sharing lessons learned so I can be a little calmer when surgery day is finally here.

      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.
