I’m going to start my diet tomorrow to get a head start on the gastric sleeve, any tips? I’m hoping to get an early start so that it might help my cravings!



I’m right there with you. I just had my orientation last Thursday. I started my prep op diet the very next day. It’s been rough. I cut out all carbonated, caffeinated, and sugar beverages. No coffee, no tea, nothing. My plan has me on about 1200 calorie diet. It’s about 3oz of Protein, 2 cups of raw veggies, or 1 cup of cooked, one starch, and one fat like 1oz avocado or 1oz oil. I’ve been doing well with 3oz of chicken (I weigh it on scale), broccoli, mini sweet peppers, turkey lunch meat on 1 slice of whole grain bread... 1/2 cup small potatoes for my starch. Ect. Lots and lots of Water . The first 3 or 4 days were the WORST! Very hard! Headaches, no energy, nothing. Be prepared. But it will pass. I don’t even have my surgeon appt yet. I meet with my psych in about 2 weeks, and I wanted to show that I am ready.

That’s me and what I hope to do, I’m more than ready to get a new start on my life! My first appointment is next Wednesday! Today I smoked my last cig, drank my last pop, and ate my last super greasy meal (long John silvers), I know I’m making it sound like I’m on death row but losing all my high calorie friends (food,soda,etc) is horrible! But I’m optimistic!

I quit smoking 3weeks before my first pre op appt with an occasional slip here and there u have to a negative nicotine test if you were a previous smoker so because I slipped and smoked a few cigs now I have to wait three more weeks before the test and I'm drinking detox tea everyday you have to not smoke at all for 4 weeks in order for all nicotine to leave your system that was the second to last thing I had to accomplish before all paper work will be submitted and PRAYERFULLY approved for gastric sleeve surgery

      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.
