10 day pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Okay my doctor requires you to do 10 days pre-op liquid diet. I am on day 4...my surgery is scheduled for next Thursday at 7am. I AM SO HUNGRY I could put salt and ketchup on the dog and eat her! I never really noticed how many fast food commercials were on TV...but now it seems it's all I hear and see.

Any suggestions? I am so tired of sugar free Jello, sugar free Fudgicles, Soup broth, Crystal Light, Diet Coke and Light Yogurt. (SIGH...I want a cheesburger SOOOO bad):)

I was on the same pre-op except I could have Atkins or slimfast shakes as long as they were no more than 2grams of carbs. I could have them 3 times a day and them all of the other things you are having now. Hope this helped. you might want to check with your doctor and ask him about the shakes I mentioned, good luck

      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.
