6/6 Pre Op Liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

Today is day one of my 2 week liquid diet. Just checking in to see how everyone is doing on their liquid diet if you are on it?

Are you using a Tracker to keep yourself accountable? If so which one? I am using Myfitnesspal, feel free to add me if you are using it as well pkweltz is my user name.

We got this!!!

I have surgery tomorrow. Two week liquid was rough at first, but got easier as I went along.

I did track mine with Baritastic, but I didn't really need to. My diet was 20oz skim milk, 3x day. Same each day, didn't really need to track. Just did it to keep in the habit.

Keep strong. You can do it.

The two week pre-op diet SUCKS but once you make it through that you're golden. Also it's much easier to follow the plan once you've gone two weeks eating nothing, just having half a scrambled egg feels like you're indulging yourself.

I also use Myfitnesspal, just make sure to keep up with it every day post-op.

Today is day 7 of pre op diet, I am no longer dealing with hunger pains. I do get a little lightheaded if I try to do anything to physical, ie. help move the dog house, and stairs suck.

I am down to 254.9 so I have lost 7 lbs.

How is everyone doing with their pre op liquid diet? What is your surgery date?

This gives me hope. I'm on Day 1 of my liquid diet. I should have started yesterday but I didn't. So here I am. I'm drinking the Meal Replacement shakes and so far I'm okay, I guess. As long as I don't think about wanting to eat I'm good. I'm just waiting until is time for bed. Hopefully I can just go to bed early every night and sleep and work my way through the next 9 days. My surgery day is 6/29.

My pre op diet includes liquids but during dinner time I can eat 4 oz of meat with one bread, one cup of vegetables and half cup of cooked vegetables. I’m going for gastric sleeve on June 29. Is that a normal pre op liquid diet?

There seems to be no 'normal' when it comes to pre-op diets. Everybody seems to have a different one.

Mine was two weeks of non-fat milk, 20oz, three times per day. Plus water.....

Other people get meat and veggies. Most seem to get Protein Shakes.

      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.
