  1. I am soo excited!!! The diet is to shrink my liver. It is phenomenal that I reach this milestone. Have been trying to get the revision done for the past 4 years. Always it has been insurance issues holding me back.
     
    Now this is the beginning of a new life, new opportunities, and finally optimum health to seek after work that will sustain me.
     
    Awesome!
     
    I think surgery is probably May 27th or May 31st. Should know more Thursday. Stay tuned!
  2. I would like to put my KUDOS out to this clinic. They have been in No. Phoenix about 2 years or so. My doctor is Dr. Steven Simon, who is the guru of bariatric intervention--great, supportive, educates about options, works viciously to get insurance approval for treatment, and just a fantastic surgeon. I have not yet had my surgery, but have started Preop preparations with diet and have completed my hosp preop tests and xrays. My date is May 31st. Everything has happened very smoothly all around once ins approval was given. Staff at the hospital today was excellent!! I am confident my hospitalization and surgery will go very well. I would not check others in our area out before consulting Dr. Simon!!

    Protein Balls Recipe
    The pb and oatmeal balls are VERY easy. (Great Recipe *****)
    1 cup Peanut Butter (I use no-sugar-added Peter Pan)
    1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff
    1 cup protein powder (I use Matrix Chocolate, but you can use other flavors)
    5 packets Splenda
    Warm the peanut butter in microwave about 30-40 seconds -- it melts it and makes mixing in the other ingredients much easier. Add the oatmeal, protein powder, and Splenda and mix well. (If needed, you can add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix) Roll into walnut sized balls, refrigerate. Store in fridge in zip-lock baggies. This recipe makes 20-24 balls.

    1 tablespoon Splenda
    1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
    2 tablespoons dried milk powder
    8 ounces non-fat milk
    Dash salt
    Few drops good quality vanilla
     
    Blend Splenda, unsweetened cocoa, dried milk powder and salt in large mug. Blend in milk, stirring until dissolved. Microwave 1 minute on high or until hot. Can also heat in saucepan on stove. (13 grams of protein)
     
    BUTTERCREME TOFFEE ICED VANILLA LATTE (All stages except clear liquids)
    2-3oz crushed ice
    4oz Mice Milk Vanilla - 9g
    2-3oz water
    1/2 packet Big Train Vanilla Latte mix - 1g
    1/2 scoop Elite Buttercreme Toffee flavor- 11g
     
    Dump it all in a Magic Bullet or blender and blend away! Add a blob of SF Cool Whip or RediWhip if desired.
     
    This is really good! It's sweet, but not super-sweet
    PINA COLADA SHAKE (All stages except clear liquids)
    1 container FAGE 2% yogurt
    8 oz skim milk (could be done with water, I suppose)
    1 scoop Isofruit Pineapple
    1 oz s/f Coconut syrup
    6 ice cubes
     
    Process in blender or bullet.
     
    Makes a 16 oz shake with 46g of protein
     
    CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE (All stages except clear liquids)
    Frozen Vanilla Yogurt
    Scoop of Chocolate Coconut Protein Powder
    1" brownie (BE Low Carb Brownies, i freeze in 1" squares)
     
    Put in Blender with just enough vanilla soymilk to blend.
     
    CARAMEL HAZELNUT SHAKE (All stages except clear liquids)
    2 scoops vanilla Zero-Carb Isopure
    1 c. ff Lactaid Milk
    3 T. Coffee Mate sf Hazelnut non-dairy creamer
    1 oz. sf Torani Caramel syrup
    Ice (I use an entire tray)
     
    Add everything in blender but ice and blend together to combine. Add ice cubes one by one to create consistency you desire.
     
    Calories: 335
    Protein: 59
    Carbs: 16
    Fat: 3
     
    Notes: I like using the sugar-free and fat-free Coffee Mate creamers, but I often have a problem in which the amount needed to solicit the flavor I want is too rich for my tummy.
     
     
    CHOCOLATE CARAMEL BROWNIE SHAKE (All stages except clear liquids)
    2 scoops PD Alpine Chocolate
    1 cup ff Lactaid milk
    1 shot Torani sf caramel syrup
    4 Joseph's sf brownie bites
    Ice cubes
     
    Blend liquid ingredients until smooth, add brownies with ice cubes and pulse until same thickness as a Dairy Queen Blizzard (I use an entire tray of ice cubes).
     
    It's important to note that this is not a low-calorie meal. This was yummy, but I would not add the brownie bites in the future -- they add 100 calories and 14g of carbs, which isn't worth it for the minimal flavor boost. Also, I typically use ff Lactaid milk, but dh brought home reduced fat and I didn't realize it. So, the reduced fat milk has 130 calories per cup, versus only 80 for the ff version. The caramel syrup has no nutritional value for a 1-oz. serving.
     
    So, here's the stats for what I actually drank this morning, though you could easily cut 150 calories by making the substitutions mentioned above:

  4. From: Pre-Op Diet

    · rsr53 · 05/10/2011 23:06

    Follow your surgeon's orders. My surgeon told me my liver needed to shrink, so the preop diet is needed to do that. I have followed a very low carb plan, taking vitamins, more activity, and roughly 1200-1400 cal plan per day. I have not begun protein shakes yet. I see my surgeon Thurs morning this week, so will officially start preop diet then. Good luck! I believe my surgery will be either May 27 or 31.
     
     
     
    I was told that I have to do a 2 week pre-op diet by my surgeon's office. I decided to begin a week early and do 2 protein shakes per day along with one healthy meal. Today I had to start the surgeon required portion of the diet and I was told that I could have 2 shakes per day, and could only eat soup, SF jello, and SF popsicles, though no specific calorie limit was set so now, I have absolutely no idea how many calories I should be eating.
     
    Last week I kept it at 1200 per day with a lot of success, I wasn't hungry and I lost 6.5 pounds. Today I've had only 535 calories and I'm not starving, but I am hungry and am not sure if it's ok for me to go up to 800 or if I should try to keep it around 500 - 600 per day.
     
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome! Thanks
     
    Erin
