Awesome! Are you nervous? How are you doing with the pre op diet?



I’m nervous and excited sprinkled with a little anxious.. My pre op diet starts tomorrow and it will be all liquids until Surgery.. How is everyone else doing??

Getting excited???



Even though it’s just 17 days away, it feels like the day will never get here! I’ve been experimenting with smoothies and other types of food I’ll be eating post-op. My pre-op diet starts on the 14th so I only have two weekends of ‘food freedom’ left. Even though the first month post-op will likely be quite unpleasant, I look forward to it

So I don't actually *have* a pre op diet... BUT I think I am going to start one on Monday and follow everyone else lol. People seem to adjust better I think?

      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.
