Pre-op diet-liquids for 2 weeks!



Recommended Posts

Well, today I started my 2 week liquid diet. :smile2: I sure hope I can make it without cheating. I just have to be determined. We'll see how I am in a few days.

All I know is that I got through day 1. :bored:

13 days left.

Well, today I started my 2 week liquid diet. :lol: I sure hope I can make it without cheating. I just have to be determined. We'll see how I am in a few days.

13 days left.

You will make it :smile2:

I only had to do a 2 day clear liquid diet before surgery and I am on a full liquid diet since surgery (9/11).

The less sugar and carbs you give your body the less hungry you feel. I focus on the Proteins. My husband had very good intentions when he bought me a milkshake... but after I drank it I had serious hunger-attacks for two days straight, no more sugar for me.

You will make it, our surgeons have reasons for putting us on those liquid diets and when I have a weak moment I always remind me of my goal.

Keep us informed of your progress!

You can do it. Look at it this way: 'cheating' isn't an option. Follow the rules as they are written exactly.

Make yourself a chart and count down the days-- that is what I'm doing. You'll be there before you know it.

The first two days were my hardest, but after that, the cravings subsided. Then I got through the first weekend and realized I was over halfway through. The next weekend was a three day holiday weekend trip with extended family, but I knew my surgery was just a couple days after I got back home, so I made it through unscathed. Little victories made it doable for me. :bored:

Day 5. Going strong. I get a little hungry here and there, and I immediately get a bowl of Soup with the Protein Powder mixed in. It helps alot. I can't believe I am doing it. I am determined not to fail! This is the beginning of my new life, and I can't wait to start enjoying the new me.

You know, the unflavored unjury is the best. I can put it in anything, and it even makes the Soups taste better....much creamier.

      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.
