Pre-op diet, "I cheated"



Recommended Posts

I am on day 9 of my 14-day pre-op diet. I cheated today and ate an Atkins candy bar/snack thingy. I feel bad, well sorta :o)

However, my real question is about after surgery, will these Atkins items be something we can eat?

Caramel Nut Chew bar

1-G sugar

130-calories

2-G Net carbs

The back says 17-G Carbs, but 6-G dietary Fiber and 1-G Sugar and 9-G Sugar Alcohol. Any information would be great. Thank you.

You should probably check with your surgeon or RD/NUT. They should give you a guideline of how many Proteins, fats, and carbs to eat at each meal. Also, some people have difficulty with sugar alcohol....some dump on it, for others it triggers sugar or carb cravings.

I agree with Ricky. I know that surgeons have different expectations/directions so you should consult with them. When I am finally blessed to have surgery I hope to be as compliant as possible.

      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! 😞
