Pre-Op Diet

[SuperKen 229]

We'll, I made it through the first day of my pre-op liquid diet ???? thank goodness I can have unlimited amounts of lettuce, cucumbers, celery, and bell peppers along with the 3 shakes!

How long is your diet for? I have to do 15 days and am terrified, lmao.

I am jealous of you for being able to eat veggies. I get 14 days of full liquid, with sugar free Jello being the "crunchiest" thing on the menu.

That being said, you seem to have it under control. Good job!

I'm on day 9 of 14 and could have broth, cream Soups, sugar free pudding, Jello, Popsicles and yogurt along with my Protein Shakes and Crystal Light I lost 7 lbs in 5 of these days

Follow your pre op diet to the best that you can. I lost 32 lbs in 2 weeks before my surgery so you can do it. Once you make it past that first few days you will be fine. Just take this 1 day at a time. You will not be sorry. It's hard but think about what your aiming for. 2 weeks of small eating compared to a lifetime of bad eating is a small price to pay. I wasn't perfect in my pre op but I did very well.

DAY 2 of pre-op diet starts...NOW! :-)

[SuperKen 229]

I'm allowed 5 shakes + unlimited amounts of these 5 non-starch vegetables; cucumbers, lettuce, celery, bell pepper, and carrots. Somehow I got it in my head that I was only supposed to have 3 Protein Shakes (i was starving so I called my surgeon's dietitian. She informed me that I am supposed to drink 5 shakes a day. OOPS!

Ok day 11 of the pre-op diet was a bust, I had a grilled boneless skinless chicken breast and I feel guilty and like a failure. I will make tomorrow a better day. ???? My surgery is this Monday the 14th. Good night.

[SuperKen 229]

Day 11 out of weakness and frustration I broke the liquid diet and had a boneless skinless chicken breast. I feel like I failed myself, but I walked an extra 1/2 mile tonight to make up for eating it.
