I totally messed up my liquid diet...



Recommended Posts

Hey Yall,

I had my surgery on he first. So far only a few bumps. I got a hematoma on my port incision but only had to go on antibiotics. It looks much better. I really didnt have a very hard time at all. So far I have lost only 17.5 lbs with the pre op diet and all the liquids since. It hasnt been that bad. I havent exercised yet. No energy. I go back to the doctor next Thursday and will start soft diet after that. I do not regret having this surgery at all.

Congratulations!!

Don't worry about losing weight at this point. These eating stages are for just healing. Until you get your first fill, you may not even lose weight, and in fact, may gain a little. Don't worry about it though. It's all normal.

Be sure to check with your surgeon about the timeline for starting exercise. Some say 6 weeks so be sure to check at Thursday's appointment.

Take care and best wishes!! :redface:

Hi Lady in Red, I must say I never had to have a pre-op diet and got to enjoy my "last supper" which was a quesidilla, it was awesome! The night before that I had a mouth watering steak. My operation went without a hitch. I just couldn't eat or drink anything after 10pm that night. I am in a support group with lots of other members who went to the same clinic and it was exactly the same for them. I wouldn't worry about it. Two weeks of liquid diet befroe hand is a little extreme I think but hey what ever works for your doc!

      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.
