Survival skills for the 14 day pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is November 8 and I only have to do a liquid diet for 48 hours before my surgery. Wonder why mine is so short compared to everyone else?

I have no pre-op or post-op liquid diet. Just high Protein and low carb a week before. Every surgeon is different. And I am going to a Center of Excellence Bariatric Center, so I'm trusting what they tell me to do!

Day 13 of 21. I've gone crazy. Ive also lost 11 lbs. I have cheated twice! This is really hard. I'm obsessing about food, and lashing out at people. I'm having crazy dreams where I put hands on people. This is the last bit of evidence that I am a food addict and I cannot do this alone. Good luck everyone! Please pray for me.

I have been on Clear liquids and 3 shakes a day since last monday. I am feeling like I might end up on the front page of the newspaper for committing murder! Thursday cant come quick enough.

You guys give me such good advice! I am glad I found this place before my journey! I am set for my first consult with the doc on the 11th of November. I am hoping this will be a quick journey. . . I hate the food addiction! Its worse than beong hooked on meth (which I was) that was very easy compared to food! Good luck everyone.. keep up the postings too!

To those of you who feel like wrapping your hands around someone's neck.. I'm praying for you :)

Hi Chris

I have Dr Rantis and have surgical date one week after you. I just started the shakes this weekend and they aren't as bad as some I have had on fasting diets. Looking forward to surgery and I would love to hear how you are doing as the procedure progresses.

      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
