First one for May???



Recommended Posts

First day of pre-op diet is almost over. My diet consists of 2 meals of lean protein/veggies (breakfast and dinner) and 2 meals of Protein Shakes (lunch and snack). I got a little hunger an hour or so before lunch. The shake was not the worst thing, but definitely not the best either. Not sure how long that will last before I really start complaining about them. I can have unlimited veggies/sf jello/sf popsicles. That's a lifesaver. I'm not hunger at all now. I think it's just going to get easier. The key is to stay busy and not let the "head" hunger get the best of you. :)

Wow! Lucky u. I'm on all liquids. Soups, broths, SF Jello & popsicles. I'm starving. These Protein Shakes are starting to taste gross. Starting to make smoothies instead. I'm 7 days preop. Band day is May 6th. I have two more weeks of this diet :-(

I commend those of you that are on liquid diets before surgery. Either it's a good thing because you will be ready for the diet after surgery or bad because you will really be tired of Protein Shakes by then. Hang in there. It's just a drop in time. :)

Wow, there is a lot of variation in these pre-op diets, hey? A new me - you have to be on it for three weeks? wow, that's a long time especially for just liquids. and then drehn you are able to eat Proteins and veg... such a big difference. I guess it is really dependent on the surgeon.

It'll be great to meet and I'm looking forward to learning more tomorrow. I don't even know what size of band we're getting or anything. I have lots of questions for tomorrow. Not during exercise therapy though. I better do a lot of listening in that particular class!!!

      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.
