I Hate my Pre-Op Diet!!



Recommended Posts

And the days are just dragging along. One week to go before my Band. I am ready to move over to the Post op questions and answers!

Sorry folks there is no real topic here. I am just venting because I am hungry! I never was good at not eating!!

No wonder I need WLS!

Sandy,

Hang in there it will all be worth it. You really shouldn't be hungry. Are you getting all the Protein in??? Let us know what you are eating so that others can help you.

I don't start my liquid diet until May 4th. I might even try (as much as I can go without eating real food) to start the week before that just so I can lose a few extra lbs. My pre-op diet consists of:

  • tomato or V8 juice (yuck)
  • cream of wheat or oatmeal (i only like oatmeal- peaches and cream)
  • SF pudding
  • SF Jello
  • Dannon light N fit yogurt
  • unsweetened applesauce (i like it sweet)
  • fat free raw veggies (not a fan of raw veggies)

I have to have 4 servings of my Protein shake daily. At least 6of these foods from the list.

This is gunna suck.

When I did my 10 day preop it was Protein Shakes only. You are lucky!

You guys are so lucky!!! I'm doing 2 weeks of only Protein shakes! I'm not allowed anything else besides chicken broth, crystal light, and sugar free Jello. I have to drink 4 shakes/day and it's getting old fast!

This is what my diet was, all liquid all the time!

Good luck to all of you. I know it sucks now but I promise you it's worth it in the end.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
