Pre and Post Diet? Whats everyone eating?



Recommended Posts

I am on the 2 week Pre Diet and doing 2 shakes and 1 meal a day. Honestly I am doing better than I thought I would. My only real cheat is that my dinner is low carb but not a salad. I am mostly meat and cheese. I already feel a little better!!

I found an oatmeal that has helped and i can also eat Post during mushy stage. It has been a lifesaver from just shakes. 100 cal 14g Protein 1g fat and 8 carbs. Profast apple and cinnamon the taste is pretty good.

What products have others found we should know about.

I've been going round and round in my head about my pre-op diet. It does not feel like a diet to me when I see it on paper. Just 19 instructions such as no fast/fried food, no sugar, no sugar drinks, no carbonated beverages, protien first, reduce/eliminate caffiene, lots of Water... etc. Feels more like every other diet I've failed than a pre-op diet. I asked my Doctor THREE times to verify what I should be doing pre-op as a very high BMI patient and all three times this was reiterated until I reach 3 days to surgery and it changes to predominantly liquids.

All that said, I do not trust myself so I've beein doing HMR shakes 3-4 a day, some fruit and veg and a low fat/low carb dinner. Just yesterday I switched to HMR heat/eat box meals for dinner too since I don't trust myself to cook properly.

I have HMR oatmeal on standby if I get into a space where I cannot stand myself, but I'm trying hard to avoid it because I don't want it to trigger a binge.

Weighed in yesterday, 9lbs down from where I was at my weigh in during November. May not seem like much, but I KNOW I gained during Christmas so I'll take it as a small victory.

I got it at a diet doctor metabolic medical centers but you can buy if from meat as well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
