Help!!! 4th day of Pre-op Diet



Recommended Posts

I started the Pre-op diet on Tuesday, I have not yet been scheduled for surgury, but I know it will be the week of May 10 or 17. I have not been able to talk to any one at the Dr's office to get the acurate diet so I have doing what I have read here. But I am hungry. Does anyone have any ideas as to what eat in between meals to keep you satified? Please help with any advice that you would like to share with me. Thanks :smile:

What is allowed on your pre-diet? Is it a clear liquid diet or some other variation? As for being 'satisfied' during the pre-op diet phase, I never was. sugar free popcicles helped some, but not much. It's short-term though so you can get through it. Just keep on thinking of the goal you're after and good luck.

I was allowed to have sugar free Jello, Sugar Free Jello, and Natural Applesauce (no Sugar added). Which helped me considerably during those two weeks!

I never thought it would happen to me...I have such a phobia to feeling hungry but I never was completely satisfied on my pre op 10 day diet. I did drink a lot more. That did help. I honestly believe the SF popsicle helped a lot as well. And I lived! I took it one day at a time and looked back at what I had accomplished. YOU CAN DO THIS!

By the way, I was allowed two Protein drinks per day....one Protein snack and three SF jellos and/or Sf popsicles and all the Crystal light and Water I wanted. I LOVE crushed ice and used that as well as my favorite Starbucks cup to carry around with me.

I was not so hungry come day 5. I just kept up the protein..it does help. this is coming from a carb addict!! I would have an ultimate Protein Shake in the morning, broth mid moring, another Protein shake-that I makde int a pudding for more filling, another cup of broth mid afternoon and for dinner I could have 4 oz of lean meat and a 1/2 cup of non startchy veggies. did alot of grilled chicken and lettuce salads. I did drink constantly-either Water or crystal light. I was able to have sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles-2 of each a day.

I am ready. My surgery is Tuesday.

My surgery is Tuesday as well and I fell off the wagon today. I was GREAT until dinner time and I started to feel sick. I caved and ate a piece of pizza before I even knew what I was doing. I imediately regretted it.

So angry at myself but I am drinking a ton of Water and getting right back on the wagon and I know that it wont happen again. I dont want to jeopardize the surgery.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
