Nervous - I Begin My Pre-Op Diet Today



Recommended Posts

Day five of full liquid and for me it is getting harder each day..and yes every damn commercial is for food. I am proud that I have not cheated at all, but I am hungry! I only have to do ten days and my surgery is on the 17th so its almost over. Good luck to everyone!

I just learned my surgery date... 11/29. I will begin 3 2 1 diet for 7 days then Protein sparing for 5 days just prior to surg. The anticipation is killing me.... Not quite sure how I'm going to get thru this. My greatest fear was of the physical aspect of the surgery now the pre-op diet as well! I'm trying to stay focused but its getting harder and harder.....don't want to fail!

I’m on a totally liquid diet here. My sleeve is on the 14th!

It was really hard for me too. What helped was the fact I could have broth and strained cream Soups. I put hot sauce in mine as often as I could (hey, no carbs!) I did have a few bites here and there of solid food, but it didn’t seem to affect anything, I still lost some fat in my midsection.

I used Jay Robb whey Protein mostly, with a Blender Bottle. Occasionally I would put Starbucks instant coffee in it (Italian Roast) and it would be more enjoyable. I have all sorts of extracts too to put in them…coconut, strawberry, banana, orange, almond, vanilla...

I also have the pantry stocked with Isopure and Crystal Light and Mio so I could have options other than Water to drink. I am very against artificial sweeteners, but if I want to do well, I don’t seem to have a choice!

Being inventive without ruining your diet (remember low sugar, low carbs, low calories) is the number one thing that will get you through the pre-op phase.

I started my pre op diet today. I know it will be worth it when I'm done. But I'm a little nervous already. I'm hungry! Crystal light only does so much.

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

      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! 😞
