Pre op surgery diet is hard!



Recommended Posts

On day 3 of my pre op surgery diet and getting meals planned ahead of time and ideas for foods I will be able to eat. The problem is, it is hard to think about the pureed foods I will be able to eat because right now anything sounds better than a Protein Shake. What I wouldn't do for some low fat refried Beans or some low fat cottage cheese.

It may not be easy.......but it's effective.

I wound up dropping 17 lbs in 13 days.

I Imagine how well things would go were I able to muster the discipline to stick with it for several months.

I'm not required to do it but I wanted to get started pre surgery but it is sooo hard to stick to! That's why I need this surgery in the first place!!

I can't use phentermine to kick start it either since I'll have anesthesia Ina week. Grrrrr

My Drs office had 7 of us finish at same time (which is unusual) and started all of us on the pre op liquid diet together. Since so many of us I'm the last one and ends up am on it for 27 days. The first 5 days were difficult, but it's gotten so easy now. My surgery is on the 28th! Only 10 more days now! Then two weeks after more on it. Piece of cake! Snap snap! Lol

      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.

      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! 😞
