I start my pre op diet tomorrow for two weeks. Any suggestions for when you come across the hard times. I will not cheat at all it's not worth it to me. I will follow what the drs say to a T. But just wondering anything that really helped any of you through it!!!??? I can have no food at all just liquids.

I ate A LOT of sugar free Jello, since it was the only semi-solid thing I could have. Stock up!!

I basically stayed away from anything except my Protein drinks. I was afraid to do anything at all. I did 2 weeks of Protein Drinks preop and 4 weeks of Protein Drinks postop. Postop I did drink bouillon and I did have SF Tropical popsicle tho. I was just afraid to go off of my program before because I didn't want my WLS canceled. After I was afraid it would hurt my new pouch.

I survived by early bedtimes at night....literally gave myself an excuse to go to bed some nights by 7:30p, helped get me through it. Plus I figured a rested body will surely heal better after surgery than a tired one!

I got so sick of the sweet cloying taste of the shakes, Jello and popsicles. When I talked to my bariatric team they suggested making some homemade fresh chicken broth. Not the canned stuff.....

If it were not for that, I dont think I would survive. I sipped on it alot pre op and definately post op.

Usually juice is not on the list because of all the sugar.

Got it, when you said juice I thought you meant fruit juice. Any of the sugar free drinks like crystal light and such work but I am with you I cannot eat or drink anything with sugar substitutes. They cause Migraines for me.

Maybe try to put some extra liquid in them. Be it Water, milk, Almond milk. You could order some GENEPRO online. It is unflavored and is really great to add to other things. coffee if you drink it. If you add it to something warm temper it with some warm Water get it mixed well then add it. Or you can make SF pudding or Jello and use some of your Protein Drink in it. It is very important to follow your Dr.'s guidelines. Good Luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
