Good luck to those today. Started my preop diet yesterday and I gotta say I’m pretty happy I’m not not experiencing the inflammation from all the sugar I used to eat all the time buuuuuut found out sausages are evil like epic heartburn. Yeah not going there again. Also my program allows air fryers soooo mmmm. I’ve basically stopped using my crock pot and switched to that appliance specifically

Guys please someone remind me that a preop diet that lets you eat actual food is not I repeat is not a starvation diet I’m supposed to get 1500 calories a day and all the Protein and I have the options of things like Protein ice cream and I can have a single actual piece of dark chocolate. I’m exactly 5 weeks from surgery and I’m so impatient and ready

I think it depends on our surgeon. My 2-week pre-op is full liquid. I drink 3 Protein Shakes and 1 clear protein daily to get 90grams of Protein

So was I! I had my 5 days post op check up yesterday. It went well, I’m able to drink a little easier now. Couldn’t keep anything down days 1,2. Drinking was painful days 3, and part of 4. Yesterday was much better. Hoping for easier days to come.
How have you been?

      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.
