Pre-op Diet starts....TODAY! Yay

[braziliangirl 72]

Hey guys..

Starting my new journey today. Surgery is scheduled to march 21 (if insurance doesnt decline, which please help me pray they dont lol)

My diet consists in:

FREE ZONE:

sugar free beverages

broth only Soups

Sugar free Popsicles and sugar free Jello

Items in moderation, as they contain larger amounts of sugar.

2 cups or less of juice/gatorade/powerade

3 or less regular jello/popsicle/no sugar added fudgicles

3 or less 1% or skim or lactaid milk/ 6oz light yogurt, 1cup low fat ricotta or cottage cheese

1-3 Protein Shakes

Supplement Guidelines:

At least 15g of Protein per 8oz serving

Less than 20g carbs per 8oz serving

Less than 5g fat per 8oz serving

-------------------------------------------------

I intend to take 1000cal a day. I'm not sure if is too much, but its probably what i can do right now.

And i MAY take some powdered Soup that i found in a brazilian store, it has 60calories which 1.3g fat, 12carbs, 2g Fiber, 3g protein, maybe 2 a day (in case i get bored of the broth)

Who's with me?!?

I'm probably the only person on earth that does not have a cell phone. Its either on here or Facebook...

[braziliangirl 72]

Helpppppp here please!

I'm craving pickessssss.. I have one here at house with 0 calories... I really want to eat :/

Would it be too bad? ???”???­

[doggylover 46]

My pre-op diet allows me anything with very low calories and/or a vegetable....in my mind a pickle fits in both categories. I had one yesterday and it got rid of my crunchy/salty cravings i get in the evenings...On another note, i'm on about 800-900 cal a day, for the past 3 days, and I havent seen the scale move at ALL!! I cut back on salt also. I'm wondering if its normal??? Does it take a couple days to kick in???

[braziliangirl 72]

I asked my nutritionist yesterday how many carbs i was ok to take a day, as the first day i ended up with 80g.

Surprisingly she replied saying i could take up to 200g a day. She also said that i do not need to count calories, but i'm doing a 900cal goal.

I'm still on 700as of now, the pickles i have here has 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 everything (just sodium of course), so, that woundt be too bad, but im scared of the fact of eating the solid.. Maybe that is bad

Ugh

[braziliangirl 72]

Oh, and i lost 1.4lb since yesterday. (I forgot to check my weight monday)..

[doggylover 46]

Actually its a low fat diet for 12 days and 2 days prior to surgery I have a liquid diet. Apparently 2 days is enough to "clear" most solid from the bowels.

[braziliangirl 72]

The purpose of mine is to shrink the liver, being only on liquids for 10 days!

[doggylover 46]

Same for me also....but everybody is loosing 10-12-14 pounds it seems and for me, nothing!! I'm hoping i'll see the numbers go down after a week...And i do have a crappy scale (not digital) too so that might be the problem...

[braziliangirl 72]

Ugh, just cheated!

Please dont judge

I was feeling sick, and tried to drink my EAS and couldnt ;( i almost throw up.. Yikes..

So, i eat a can of tuna with a plum Tomato like salad with some lemon and pepper.

My day so far:

Fat: 11g

Carb:45g

Fiber: 8g

Protein: 98g

Im supposed to follow a liquid only, but my nutritionist said that my allowance is 1200cal, maximum 200g (yes 200) of carbs!

So, i'm reallllllyyyy bellow..

Would this hurt my diet? ???”
