2 weeks pre op

[Guest RJurnee]

I am starving and i am weak any suggestions to help me before i go to the surgery. Water is not helping.

What was the pre-op diet they put you on? If you're feeling weak talk to your doctor and see if they'll let you have more high-protein foods. If you're on an all-liquid diet you should be taking care to have Protein Drinks a couple of times a day. You want to lose weight, not pass out!

Are you on a liquid pre-surgery diet? Clear Liquids (broth, tea, apple juice, etc.) or full liquids (cream Soups, milk, etc.) You definitely have to drink more than just plain water! What has your surgeon suggested you do?

two weeks preop slim fast Breakfast and luch dinner lean cus

one week preop 4 slimfast a day

Slimfast isn't really all that great, nutrition-wise. Maybe you can ask your doctor about letting you have some more substantial Protein Drink? Maybe you can make smoothies with milk and fruit along with a Protein Powder? What's the goal--are they trying to make you lose 20 lbs in the two weeks prior to surgery? :rolleyes

i think they are trying to make sure that my stomach has shrunk down so will not be so hard after surgery to not eat that much. I changed it around to day had the lean cus for luch i will see how i do tonight. I did get a prot shake mix so i will try that for the week before. i only weigh 220 so i barely got through. Im just afraid later it will be too late and i only have to loose 80 punds. i have lost 5 already.

thanks for the help
