no pre op liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

I just saw my surgeon for my last visit preop. I have no special diet I have to be on pre op. I'm totally blown away by that. I do think however I will do a good clean out the day before.

i just have to curve my weight regain. I gained 2 pounds today. UGH!

hey teri, i have gained 6 pounds since my final viisit aug.12, that is terrible...i am having to check myself...i thought the reason for the pre-op diet was to shrink the fat away from the liver, so they could maneuver around it safely? maybe u don't have a fatty liver...i do. they gave me the pre-op diet, and the gave me a bowel prep to do the day before...so like i was saying maybe you don't have fatty liver problem?

I will be banded 9/9 and I do not have a pre-op either. I do have a day before surgery Clear Liquids diet and fleet bowel cleanse. I was told that the Dr. does not want any food in your bowel in the event that the bowel is nicked during surgery. That could lead to infection. If you eat so much as a piece of toast in the 24 hrs before surgery they will reschedule you.

      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.
