What's your pre op diet like?



Recommended Posts

Just curious what everyone's pre op diet consists of. I'm on day 2 of my 14 day pre op and it is rough! I know it's all worth it though

Here's mine:

Day 14-8

Morning : Protein Shake

Afternoon : Protein shake

Dinner: 3 oz of very lean meat with one cup cooked vegetable

Also may have:

1 low fat cheese stick

1 light, non fat yogurt6oz

1 packet of Quaker Oats Weight Control oatmeal

3 oz of fresh fruit

Unlimited RAW vegetables

Day 7-2

Protein Shakes for Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Also may have:

1 low fat cheese stick

1 6 oz yogurt

3 oz fresh fruit

Unlimited RAW vegetables

Day before surgery liquid diet no red Jello or liquids

all I could have as 5-6 Protein Shakes per day, plus unlimited sugar free beverages, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free Jello. I could also have something like 8 oz of Tomato juice, V8, or broth (I'm guessing they limited it because of the sodium). No solid food at all - so you're lucky.

Yep. This is mine too. I did get her approval to add (in 1 of the Protein shakes): 1oz frozen blueberries, 1 1/2oz frozen chopped spinach, and psyllium. I can also add 6g of peanut "flour". I have about 10-12 days of it. Then 2 days prior to surgery, it switches to Clear Liquids only with a bowel prep. I'll do clear Protein Drinks at that time.

      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.
