Day 3 on my 2 week Pre Op Diet....



Recommended Posts

I would, it really is a good thing, and I do feel better physically - just gotta get over not eating like I use too - I have lost alot of Water weight, and I do have more energy, plus it will make things much safer when the DR goes in to do the surgery.

You know the saying.... things worth having are worth working for!!

Michelle :)

You really make me want to try the pre-op diet for real so when I get to it I don't cheat. Congrats on your willpower! I don't know if I could have done it.

My surgeon requires a 4 week pre-op diet ... using their own line of produces ( shakes, puddings , bars broths and Pasta..

I am on my second month of supervised diet I am required to do 3.

Good luck on your 3 month supervised diet - Soon we will look back on all of this and think how thankful we are we went through everything -

I am now counting down the days, I have 9 days until my surgery... thats not long at all. I have to admit, I will be glad when that is all behind me and I am on the loosers bench :)

Awwwww, im with ya girl!!! It is sooooooo hard, I know. I just posted a newbie saying how bad I am feastinggggg every day! I am sooooo nervous, and everything in my mind is sleeve, sleeve, sleeve, so im eating totally out of control. I dont think I've eaten this bad in yearsssss, but I know the time is near, and it will come to having to choice but to do it even though there is no pre-op diet for me, according to my surgeon. But, thanks for the info bout the pre-op stuff. Im gonna keep trying. Im off to a good start again today. Good luck to ya, and plz keep in touch, and thank u again :):):)

I have a slimfast 180 calorie shake for Breakfast, a slimfast 100 calorie snack back a couple hours later, then I have another shake for lunch, then another snack a couple of hours later then for dinner I can have 5 ounces of Protein and 2 cups of veggies. Thats it! - Each day is different on being able to handle it, first three days were rough, the 4th was better, then today came and I had to work late, and missed my normal 1 meal time, and it really kicked my butt, I was shakey, angry, emotional - not a very happy camper.

I will definatly keep in touch, we can do this... its just another step to a new us! - I did find an new "snack" thanks to this forum to use instead of the sweet Snacks from slimfast all the time. Take 2 % string cheese and wrap thin sliced turkey breast around it, but before I wrap the turkey I spinkle some Mrs Dash Tomato basic and garlic.... it is SOOOO Yum and only 90 Calories, less the the snack bar.

My biggest problem right now, is leg cramps, I am having them all the time, and I was told I needed to get in more Water. I am trying to do that and will see if that helps. I woke up with one in each leg this morning, it jolted me right out of bed crying! I am drinking as much Water as I can, cause those things hurt!!!

Have a fabulous day - Keep a smile on your face, this is all worth it in the end.

I'm on the 2nd day of my 2 week liquid diet. So far so good. I did make some homemade chicken Soup 2 weeks ago, strained the broth off and froze it. I drank a cup yesterday and a cup today and it tasted like HEAVEN!!! Good luck to all of us who are going thru this!:D

wow, my hat is off to you, two week liquid diet - I dont know if I would make it! I guess I would if I had too - Glad its going well for you - I think the key to all of this is to have a support group who knows what your going through, makes things easier knowing that others have had to do the same thing, and they made it :)

Good Luck to all the Pre-op Dieters! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
