Preop liquid diet oopsies



Recommended Posts

So I started my 2 week liquid diet last Wednesday, I’ve been strict each day doing really good but on Saturday I was celebrating my sister in law’s birthday and my doctor said I could have One meal that day, so I had a shrimp cocktail and a few glasses of wine and some beers.

today (Sunday) we ordered lots of food to finish celebrating her birthday. One thing led to the other and I ate really bad. Had a few beers and ate just way too much.

i only did it because, this was once in a blue type thing. We don’t really order much food like today but since it was her birthday we got so much stuff and it was hard to sit there and drink a shake or broth while everyone was was eating all this delicious food.

My surgery is on 9/16, I’m not planning on messing up again and Im gonna continue first thing tomorrow. im currently writing this feeling so full and ashamed of my self. I’m just writing to see if anyone else went through this in the beginning of the Pre op liquid diet phase.

omg yes! I AM NOT ALONE lol

On my second day of my 2 week liquid diet. I had to go to a dinner in the city and could not cancel. I wanted to be the designated driver so I made sure I didn't have anything to drink and I just ended up eating a sushi roll. I honestly felt like **** because I was still sooooo hungry and all my girls ended up ordering an insane amount of food and Im just sitting there with an empty plate that I devoured in less than 5 min.

After that day I stuck to the diet soooo well because my surgeon literally told me that if he ended up doing the surgery and saw that my liver hasn't shrunk from the liquid diet, that he wouldn't continue. So that's honestly what's keeping me going. Don't let this little hiccup mess you up for the rest of the journey. YOU GOT THIS!

I had little cesears pizza and bread sticks four days preop and liquid shakes the remaining days and surgeon said liver was good for surgery. Dont beat yourself up about food its part of why we fat. You cant change the past and the future is going to be better 💗

Hope this helps.

Slimfast is probably not okay— very high in sugar.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
