2-Week Pre-op diet starts tomorrow

[Islandgyrl 6]

Any one else have surgery the week of the 9th? I’m scheduled for the sleeve on the 14th. I have to admit I haven’t stocked up for my liquids, and the nutritionist kindly reminded me earlier that tomorrow is kickoff! Any one mid-process, I’m curious on you keep going when you’re running on empty?

When in doubt have a Protein Shake.

I am on day 4 and its been rough! The first 3 days i had major Migraine and the hunger postings were awful. Today was better. I just get tired faster. My pre op consist of sugar free liquid, sf cool pops, Protien shakes broth and one bariatric approved Protein Bar a day. My surgery is April 10th.

I just had surgery on the 26th but, I did a pre op Optifast diet for 4 weeks pre op. The first week was hell with carb and sugar withdrawal. After that first week, it got much easier.

Hang in there. This will make your surgery much safer and be well worth it in the end. Remember to drink as much Water as you can hold. It will help flush the toxins out and give you a feeling of satiety.

I'm on day 9 of a 30 day liquid diet. Only Protein Shakes (4) & raw veggies. Nothing else. I've been a little moody, and hungry but doing better than expected.

Just keep thinking about your surgery and your goals! That's what I'm doing!

I feel like my diet pre and post op are very strict.

PreOp and up to 7 weeks after my surgeon will not allow me to have any solid food.

Does anybody else have a diet this strict?

· 2 weeks preop diet: Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids only

· 2 weeks post op diet: Protein shakes and clear liquids only

· 3 & 4 weeks postop: I can add in creamy liquids

· 5 & 6 weeks postop: I can add in pureed foods

· 7+ weeks: I can slowly integrate solid foods.

Mine is exactly the same. I had doubts on whether I’ll be successful post-surgery, but I’m trying to keep positive. It’s just the liquids for 2 weeks without sleeve is gonna be rough.
