What Are You Eating On Your Pre-Op Diet?

I'm hungry! LOL

Just started my 2 week pre-op diet today, meant to just eat healthy. Had Protein shake for Breakfast & lunch. Had some babybel light cheese as a snack, sugar free Jello as snack & some low-sodium chicken stock.

But still hungry!

So wondering what else other people are eating for their pre-op diet?

What is your typical diet menu?

Wow, you have a lot more leway in your pre-op diet than I did in mine. (Mine was basically all Protein shakes, broth, and then just a few vegetables). Not that this makes you feel any better.

I will tell you this, though... I thought the pre-op diet was the hardest part of my journey. (Mainteance is hard too, but in a different way.) Really. If you can tough it out through this pre-op diet and stick to it, you will do great with your sleeve!!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!

Yeah, I am pretty lucky with the 2 week pre-op diet... just have to eat healthy.

3 days pre-op is liquids.

I guess I am so used to eating junk though, that I am finding it hard to think of healthy options right now, especially for snacks!

I'm going to Starbucks in the AM and getting an orange/mango/banana smoothie and then greek yogurt with SF blueberry (or some other flavor) preserves. Usually yogurt for dinner too. And sometimes a third for a snack between breakfast and lunch. I'm happy with it so far. The different SF preserve flavors shake it up a bit and I love the Starbucks smoothie. Better than anything I can make.

Thanks, I am finding the 'eating healthy' thing a little tricky. Just eating too much volume wise I think.

Plus it doesn't help I have my girls' birthday today so going out for dinner (will try to eat healthy!) & then their birthday on saturday (pizza & cake, ack!), then a scrapbooking crop on sunday (that means lots of candy, bleuch!).

I am trying, but it is sooo hard!

Monday I start my liquid diet. Hope I lose some weight then!
