Pre-op Milk diet day 1 arggggghhhh



Recommended Posts

Hello all new to the board and getting banded in glasgow scotland on the 16th september. Starting the pre-op milk diet today for two weeks and am quaking in my boots!! 3 pints of milk, two low fat yogs and a stock cube only per day. So worried that I am going to fall flat on my face at the first hurdle. I have a very demanding job working in a acute medical ward 4 x 12.5 hours a week and am scared i won't be able to hack it. Anyone else about to embark on this type of pre-op diet that wants support and to support let me know.

Good luck to all you scrumptious september banders xxx

I am with you Plumplump; at 65, I am not sure that I want to sustain the restrictions, and post-op. I started the clear liquid diet, and bombed-out due to a tachacardia attack. weird. hope you are doing ok with proceeding per surgery.

      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.
