Pre Op Diet

[Girly51 14]

I’m into my pre op diet, good thing I started on Friday. Today, I’m tired and have been resting. They said it should only last a few days. Can someone tell me their experience with pre op diet. Strangely enough, I have not been hungry. Drinking Premier Protein 3X’s a day, Water, and broth.

I was tired the first week too on my pre op diet. It gets better, I think your body has to adjust to running on less calories maybe. That's what I told myself anyways lol

I have lost 14 pounds in 6 days. I'm barely able to function at this point. I'm worried how bad it will get with one week of no nutrition. Not allowed vit clear liquids after surgery. When is yours?

[Girly51 14]

March 8th. I lost 2lbs. from yesterday, which was my start date.

They said I go back on Clear Liquids after surgery for approximately 2 weeks. I would guest you the same.

I can have Clear Liquids the first week and the second I can start shakes.

Monday.

Good Luck, if you can keep me informed. I got about 2 weeks, their going to record my surgery and place it on a junk drive. I thought that was good and interesting.

If you're feeling down try Vitamins or higher Protein

Can anyone share their menu schedule for pre op diet? I put myself on one because for some reason my doctor did not put me on one. My surgery is scheduled for March 11 so two weeks away. He only said the 24 hours prior to surgery to go on liquid diet. But I'm over 50 BMI and I feel like I need to do this.

I'm also on 3/11 but I'm going with gastric bypass. I've just dropped another 5 lbs! I got my pre-op diet today (last visit before surgery). Here is the sum up:

2-3 Protein Shakes per day, making sure you get 60 grams of liquid Protein per day.

Can also have baked or grilled chicken, turkey, lean meat or fish as well as steamed or fresh vegetables and fresh fruit.

Avoid all dairy except what is in your protein shakes.

No eggs

Season with herbs & spices, lemon juice or vinegar but avoid Condiments, dressings, fats and oils.

2 full days prior to surgery,

stop all meat, change over to broth Soups

continue shakes

continue veggies and fruits.

Now, prior to this I was pretty much eating like this (not the shakes) for the last month and I lost 20 lbs. I was eating about 75 grams of protein, 100 grams of carb and 30 grams of fat for 1000 calories per day.

Since the pre-op diet didn't specify quantities on the meat, veggies and fruit, I figure as long as I stay within the last month diet limits I'll be ok. I started a month ago at 277, 5'4" with a BMI of 47.5.
