I'm starting my pre op diet tomorrow- I have all my basics...broth, jello, pudding...etc. any other foods/liquids anyone recommends?

Hi

What kind of Protein drinks are you using?

To get my chocolate fix, I like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or amplify from GNC.

For a juicier texture, I use nectar, roadside lemonade, from the Vitamin store.

Good luck. When is your surgery date?

sf popsicles..those saved me

I thought the protection shakes we for after my surgery! That goodness I asked. My surgery date is November 1. I guess I'm making my way out to get protein drinks today.

Sorry that should say protein shakes..not protection.

I've had my dietary consult and psych eval with good results. Now the only thing between me and the surgery is the slower than molasses processor in the Dr's office. That girl wouldn't move if the building was collapsing around her. So.. I have to continue to pester her and threaten speaking directly to the dr before getting any action. My insurance has already told me approval will not be an issue once the packet is turned into them.

Re: pre-op diet. I was pleasantly surprised to find out my pre op diet includes real food like chicken, bread, potatoes and veggies. I'm restricted to 30 carbs per day, minimum 100 grams of protein and no more than 65 grams of fat. 1 piece of fruit and avoid all sweets otherwise. The dietition and dr feel too much restriction is going to backlash emotionally and isn't necessary. I can do this! If only the darned processor would get my date set!

Impatient in Alaska.

I'm starting my pre open diet today and my doctor recommended sugar free Italian ice cups

Pre op lol

Yea, I got Whey Protein powder..have yet it try it. I had cream of chicken soup for lunch and pudding for breakfast. I'm lucky though..I only have 4 days of this pre op and then 7 days post op. I'll be ok! Staying busy us working on cutting the hunger. And staying positive is too! Thank you whoever told me that!!

Today is day 7 of the preop diet, we had a family reunion yesterday and I did eat 2 meatballs and a tablespoon of hashbrown casserole. Up until then I had been sticking to the strict diet. I felt a bit guilty even though the portions were so small, but boy did it taste good. The scales show that I have lost 5 pounds so far so that is great motivation. Back on track for me, it hasn't been easy but the band is a tool and will keep me accountable.

Does anyone know if the pre-op diet makes you have diarrhea? Or am i just too worried?

Start my one week pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm allowed up to six ounces of chicken or fish a day plus raw veggies. Not too bad in addition to protein shakes and 64oz of water, broth, etc. Plus I can have oatmeal or cream of wheat, SF. applesauce and other stuff. My pre-op with my surgeon for tomorrow was cancelled due to the hurricane. Getting banded one week from tomorrow.

Yes! During pre-op I had what my BF lovingly referred to as "poop soup" so not cute. The Protein shakes make u go and with all the liquid-well u know. Anyways I wouldn't worry, it's pretty normal

When did you have your surgery?

10/17. I am currently on soft foods/mushies. Today I was able to eat one small meatball and it was like Christmas morning!
