My surgery is January 2nd and I'm on day 7 of the pre surgery diet.




My surgery is also 1/2/18 and I am on day 12 of my pre-op diet. I was kind of upset/angry that my team made me start the diet on 12/15/17 because that is closer to 3 weeks, but I know they did so because I had actually gained weight in the months leading up to getting a definitive surgery date. I am, as of today, down 14 pounds. 6 more days to go.

Hey my surgery date is January 18th, my surgeon said that I should do my pre op diet at least 3-4 weeks before as he doesn’t think 2 weeks is enough...so far I’ve done the pre op meal plan - low carb diet and I’ve managed to loose 7kg (1 stone) in the past 3 weeks which I’m glad about so will continue until surgery date.
So happy I managed to loose over Xmas
Good luck to you all and happy new year 2018 is our year!!

For those of you who had surgery on 1/2/18: how is it going? I am still in pain; actually it was getting a bit better, but my significant other coughed while I was sleeping and I woke up with a start and felt like I tore something. As for fluids, I am barely getting in 20 oz a day. The one positive thing I can say is that I have no appetite at all. Hopefully it gets better. Good luck to all.

Hi Maggie, I had surgery on the 2nd and I'm still in pain. On the good side, it's getting better every day. Fluid wise I'm getting slightly more fluid in and also no appetite either. Good luck

      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.
