Hey guys, I’m on day one of the pre op diet. Any and all tips of what’s good to have, what does the trick, or what sauces or things you can use? I’m drawing a blank on what can get me through lol...

You didn’t really specify what your pre op diet is so your responses may not be very helpful.

Pre op diets are extremely varied. Some of us were on two weeks of liquids, some of us were allowed raw vegetables, some of us were allowed one low calorie but high Protein meal per day with Protein Shakes. Some people only had two days of a liquid diet pre op.

You may get more responses/ideas if you specify what exactly you are allowed to eat on your own pre op diet.

I’m allowed a shake in the morning, an apple for a snack, then lunch a shake and small salad with balsamic vinegar or equivalent, dinner I’m allowed 4 oz of lean protien and as many non starchy vegetables, also it says I’m able to have 1/4 cup of brown rice.. then another shake in the evening. Sorry I didn’t specify

I found white fish like cod with a squeeze of lemon instead of sauce with a side of salad or cooked veg went down well and I felt satisfied x

      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.
