Pre op must haves!?!



Recommended Posts

I know some docs and nuts have different pre op diet plans but my allowed must haves were ice pops...its the only thing you can really chew during this time, and I really REALLY missed the action of chewing my food lol. Besides that I would go to the local japanese restaurant and order a quart of their clear Soup to go...just scoop out the mushrooms. The sodium in that was probably a bit high but my doc didn't seem to mind that. Good luck!! You got this!

I couldn't have done it without the right attitude.

Just know the first couple days on liquid diet you will be hungry, cranky, tired, weak, etc. On the 3rd day I was fine
And started to be satisfied to the point I did not feel like I was starving. I miss chewing food, SF popsicles are great!
I am on day 8 and I feel I will make ok until the 12th for my surgery. Good luck!

I m scheduled for September 18th and just started the pre liquid diet 3 days ago. Today I find myself gagging at the smell of the Protein Shakes. They said I should have 60 grams of Protein and the shakes have 30g so technically I only need 2 shakes a day. What other liquids have others tried besides broth, Jello and SF ice pops. Thanks

Herbal tea, though I admit I didn't have a lot of it. I couldn't have made it without Crystal Light!

      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.
