Help! Ate red bite!



Recommended Posts

I have surgery tomorrow morning at 5:30, and I've been perfect on my diet all week. I went and got a popsicle and took a bite and swallowed before I realized it was a red one...

Is this really bad? So I need to call anyone about it? I would cry if this postponed my surgery, in finally ready for it.

Edit: I called and talked to the staff and they said it was okay, panicked there for a moment

Thank you both. Good luck with yours Molly!

Just got home last night from mine. I definitely understand now how nothing is a temptation after surgery lol.

Thank you! Definitely feeling the emotions right now. I'm trying to make myself walk as much as I can tolerate, it's not easy. I'm sore and it's hard to even drink right now... wondering how long that will take to go away. I'm trying to sip on my Water as much as I can and I've been working on a Jello cup for about 2 hours now. (Never in my life did I think it would take me more than 5 minutes to eat a jello cup haha.)

Aren't all sugar-free popsicles colored? I thought that as long as they're sugar-free, it's all good. Starting liquid diet June 4.

Yes, but on the last day of your diet you can't have anything red. That way when they are doing the surgery and they nick anything, they won't think it's blood. So the day before surgery no red Jello, no red popcicles, etc. :)

      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.
