Pre op liquid diet day 12



Recommended Posts

So I’m on day 12 of my pre op diet, 38 to go 😭 I’ve lost 13lbs and I’m hanging in there, but damn it’s not getting easier. Thought the hunger would pass after a few days but nah.. and I think about food every second of every day. I’ll follow my surgeons instructions no matter how hard it is, but please tell me the constant thoughts of food will fade slightly after surgery?

I’m excited to not feel the hunger as much but I’m definitely worried my addiction to food will bother me forever

Hang in there, it will get better. I felt the same but after surgery you get so full and now I have found healthy foods that I enjoy soooo much .. there are days where I’ll see certain foods and I’ll want it but then I’ll remember everything I’ve been through and also how unhealthy and miserable that food made me feel and I’ll simply stop wanting it .. but don’t worry you’re strong enough to over come any of the challenges, you got this!!

How long do they have you on liquid diet ??
Thank you💕 that gives me hope!
It’s 50 days. So a lot longer than most people on here I see, but I’m having it done in Norway and the whole process is a bit different

Yeah that’s super long, I only had to do a liquid diet the day before surgery and a low fat diet 2 weeks before surgery.. but ever surgeon is different and also everyone’s health ..

But hang in there, I know it must be super hard but you can and will overcome it.. later on after surgery when you start feeling healthy and good you’ll be so happy that you did everything you had to do.. this will show you some of the strengths you never even knew you had 💕

      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.
