@@Fabiana87 I'm not sure what your doing are you talking about a two week pre-op diet or something else? I did the pre-op diet to shrink my liver but I just called it a pre-op diet so it may not be the same as you. I was allowed 4 Protein Shakes, SF Jello ,popsicles & broth. That's it so it was pretty easy for me since I didn't have any choices.

@@Fabiana87 oh then that's different than what I did. If that's all you're eating then that's not enough. You may have got 40 grams of Protein out of all of that IF your drinking a high protein option. I would drink a few more Protein Drinks or add some low carb options And lean meats like fish, turkey & chicken. After surgery you are going to want to eat protein first so you may as well focus on that now. You can find a ton of recipes online. Try eating a few small protein Snacks between small meals if you need to like cheese and turkey roll ups, a few natural almond, they sell P3 snacks at Walmart that have small portions of meat, cheese and nuts in them. Watch your sodium intake though. Processed meats have a lot of sodium normally. I usually go to the deli and ask for low sodium options. I actually prefer them because they taste more like meat and not over processed. I would call your nutritionist and see what exactly your suppose to be eating as far as calories ect...

My pre-op is only 3-5 Protein shakes and non-calorie liquids.

I could chew threw a chain link fence right now to eat a salmon fillet or a can of tuna.< /p>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
