[saritawillslim 11]

Many Dr's require different pre op diets. I was allowed to have Protein shakes 4-5 x a day. It is good to have a variety! I got tired of the sweet stuff so I got the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup and it was great when mixed with broth. I would also do broth for a change.

I drank a lot of Water, Sobe Water, tea, apple juice, cranberry juice

Good luck! It is much easier than I thought it would be and goes by very quickly!

I was allowed three of New Direction Protein shakes (made with water) and only sugar-free popsicles or Jello and sugar-free crystal light. Nothing else and it was a mandatory 14 days!

Every doctor is different, what is your doctor expecting?

I do have a few suggestion for this time.

Most importantly be patient with yourself and don't spend time thinking negatively like I can't do this, this is too hard, all that bologne. It is hard, but you can do it. The more time you spend thinking negatively it reinforces the negative thoughts. Keep telling yourself how proud you are that you are doing this and that you can do this. Reinforcing the positive and staying positive is paramount to success.

You are not going to starve during this time, thin elderly people live on shakes for months on end and thrive and survive. You will probably be getting better nutrition on the shakes than you did beforehand.

You may get a headache for the first few days, that's because you are weaning from Carbohydrates, some people get it because they quit caffeine or carbonated beverages.

After day 4 I did much better.

Keep BUSY. Use this time to take walks or walk in your home, march in place or whatever, keep busy. I took all my biggest clothes (size 4x) and I moved them in a pile. I cleaned out my closets and my drawers and looked for smaller clothes.

Remember that liquid in, liquid out, you most likely will have a day or two where out of the blue, you have to go potty, hence the threads "never trust a fart", "night sharts happen", etc.

This time is a very good time to purge your body of carbohydrates and prepare yourself for the road ahead.

Good luck to you and way to go, I look forward to hearing how you progress.

Just stick with it, you will be craving stuff like crazy and it'll drive you nuts but the effects are worth it. You will shrink your liver and get your colon clean - which you'll appreciate post-op when you won't have to push to go to the bathroom.

Best of luck!

I am on day one of my pre-op diet. I do not like the Meal Replacement shakes. I have read this post about three times already. It really helps. Thanks!

I'm really concern because my doctor gave me a pre op diet to follow. I must have 1200 cal with only one meal, the rest with shakes and bars. Today I had two shakes of 110 cal each and three bars with a total of 460 cal. My one meal only came to 200 calories. My concern is that my total cal intake was about 700 calories and 70g of Protein. Does anybody know if this is still ok?
