Help With Pre Op Diet



Recommended Posts

I have started my pre op diet which consists of 2 Protein Shakes and dinner of lean meat/chicken/fish and veggies. My question is can I marinade them, if it is a healthy marinade? (I would be using the AMA cookbook recipes for the marinade)

Also for the veggies, is salad allowed? Lettuce and tomatoes with balsamic vinegar? Black Beans?

Thanks all!

Pre-op. Sounds like you haven't had the surgrey as of yet. The week before surgrey I was on liquids all week. I even lost 7lbs. I had the band done on 4/16/2012 & had to follow very closely to the strict diet for the first month. Your Dr. should have given u a booklet on what to eat & when. I am the same age as you & I have lost 40lbs since. I found some great receipes on this site. I hope I was some help to you.

Ask your surgeon- I would vote no because of the extra sodium usually found in marinades (healthy or not), but your Dr may be okay with it.

Balsamic vinegar is full of sugar which is carbs which u arent meant to be eating i dont think, so maybe look at another form of dressing :)

Every pre op diet is different but the diet I was on was similar and it's was specifically no dressing.

I am also doing the pre op diet. My surgery is 7/10. If I need flavor to my chicken I just squirt a little bit of lemon on it and some pepper. It works. I can't stand plain, dry chicken

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
