Preop Diet Started!

today starts day 1 of my 14 day liquid diet.

i have to do 5 Protein shakes a day, can also have sf Jello or popsicles, and any other Clear liquids, and broths. plus at least 64 ounces of Water but that include the shakes.

so far so good. i am not hungry but my brain definitely wants to eat. so i just got some sf gum to help that needing to eat feeling. anyone else start today? how are you doing?

we shall see how i am in a few days :).

im three days in! its not too bad...def head hunger happening! sf gum? im definitley going to try that! thanks!

I loved the Extra "desserts" flavored gum when I was on my two week pre-op. The apple pie flavored one especially!

Im on my 3rd day of my 2 week preop diet. I can hardly stomach the icky Bariatric Advantage shake mix my surgeons office gave me so Ive been getting my protein in with other things. I like the Lean Protein Vanilla shakes from GNC, Oh Yeah brand has a cookies and cream that is tolerable and my favorite go to has been the Unjury chicken broth that has 21 grams of protein per serving. I am finding that I need to make sure to have enough calories because Ive only been getting in about 500 and I get tired really easily. Good news is that in 3 days Ive lost 6 pounds. December 5th is my big day :)

I'm doing Bariatric advantage as well. I had to buy it out of pocket so ill be dammed if it's going to waste lol. I've added stuff to them and it makes it tolerable. I made a pumpkin one today that was pretty tasty.

I have started today too and i am drinking boost with extra protein. It said boost glucose control or slim fadt high protein so i figure its ok. I didnt think how expensive it would be to do preop
