Starting my pre-op diet today!!!!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited and it is all becoming very real! Today I am starting my 2 week pre-op diet! Any suggestions or motivations for the next 2 weeks other than this will lead to surgery which will lead to a healthier lifestyle?

I'm in the same boat with you, I started my pre-op Monday 9/19 and will have surgery 10/1. The first day wasn't bad, but not sure if I am eating correctly. Here is what I had that day.

Breakfast - Protein shake with 1 cup strawberries

lunch - Protein Shake with 1 cup strawberries

dinner - cup with steak, chicken sausage mixture.

snack - 100 calorie count Ritz Snack

- 60 calorie pudding

I was not required to diet two weeks pre op but doing it to help with next week with liquid diet. What are you eating?

1 cup of salad with 2 tbsp of fat free dressing (once a day)

1 cup of Soup ( veggie, Tomato, 98%fat free cream soups) (once a day)

You guys are lucky you get actual food with your pre-op diet. Mine consists of 4 Protein Shakes per day with all of the SF drinks and Jello or popsicles you can eat/drink. I have 6 days left on this and my advice would be read a book or find a hobby that will keep your hands occupied so you aren't looking for something to do with them. For me that would usually mean finding a snack :unsure: . Good luck and the 2 weeks does fly by!

I start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow. My doctor is having me do Medifast during this time, but I can supplement with sugarfree Jello & popsickles and all the Crystal Light, Diet Soda and Water I want.

Good luck to all!smile.gif

Exciting!!!

I'm going to Aceves and he only requires a low carb diet for a week and only if you're over BMI 40. I'm going to do it anyway though, so I'll feel better on our trip to MX. I'm going to start a week from today!

      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.
