Hey guys!

I am having trouble with the PreOpt Diet. I lack creativity & I don't always have the funds for the food needed. I'm on a strict budget. Anyone out there would like to give me examples of what they eat or how the meal prep cook. I'm do for surgery in Mexico in 71 Days I am worried that my liver will not shrink enough.

That depends on your preop diet... Not everyone is the same. SOme are strict liquid diet only while others can eat certain things...

My Surgeon does not require me to have a pre-op diet. That feels a little strange to me since it seems the majority are given a pre-op diet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Probably have a small liver... the whole point of the pre op diet is to shrink your liver for more room to work when they get to the surgery

      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.
