last meal before pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

I can't believe I'm having this issue in my head. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow morning (7 days) and I just keep thinking all day, yeah, I'm going to eat this, this is the last time I'll be able. Tomorrow starts a new me. Now I know why they make you do a pre-op diet, otherwise I'd probably be eating a giant mexican dinner the night before! Did anyone else do this? Key question, and then were you able to be successful. I know in my head tomorrow is the beginning of a new me so I really should be able to not want to eat some ice cream, huh?

I am right there with you. Went to the store for one thing and bought $50 worth of junk food. I have eaten so much I feel sick. I start my pre-diet on Friday.

I definetly did that! Haha wow I dont think i've ever eaten so many different foods in a matter of two days. Its not gonna make you miss them anyless, but maybe you wont crave them as much. Just think. In a matter of six weeks (in my case) I'll be able to have those foods again, just not as much. I had my surgery exactly one week ago, and am already cravings. Just make sure you have found foods that you can live on until you can eat normal foods again.

I am totally there. I was like "This is my last Big Mac." " This is my last ice cream cone." "This is my last bowl of pasta." There are so many lasts.:smile: But the new me and the new life I will be living will be so much better than a few Big Macs and ice cream.:party: Stay strong.

      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.
