Starting pre-op protein diet tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I was told to get 100 Protein. I drank premier ready to drink shakes and they each have 30 g so I reached it easily.

I was told 2 Protein Shakes a day or Protein Bar (breakfast and lunch), I can have 1/2 cup fruit 3x/day as a snack, unlimited non-starchy veggies. dinner consist of 3 ounces of meat (preferably lean), small salad with 2 tablespoon fat free dressing, mouse sized baked potatoe or 6 unsalted crackers, and 1/2 cup of fruit. I also have to get in 64 oz of Water. Oh yea I can drink Powerade zero, Decaf tea/coffee. To answer you question I was told 60-80g of Protein.

I start today too. I get 3 Protein Shakes under 200 calories each at least 25 Protein and less than 10 carbs. Then i get 3 ounceof lean meat, 1 cup veggies, one tennis ball size fruit, which i plan to ask if i can replace with more veggies. 1/3 cup brown rice, 1 serving of fat, i guess equal to 1/8th an avocado or a teaspoon of olive oil. They do differ greatly. Surgery 12 14 15. You too?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
