Anyone Low Carbing for Pre-Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is December 6, and I am in the 2 week pre op liver shrinking phase. I drink 3 high Protein shakes and eat several cups of greens per day. I have lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks, I don't get Migraines, but I get really tired around 8pm. I am a little worried about Thanksgiving with the family, but I think a small piece of turkey will be ok. Any one else have any Holiday concerns?

I'm going to do my best to stick with turkey and greens plus I'm making mashed cauliflower. I need to check the carb content of gravy. I know I'm going to be disappointed! I might see if I can find a low carb recipe.

I low-carbed up to the 2 week liquid diet.

The liquid diet for me was 3-4 Protein shakes per day....very low carb shakes.< /p>

I stuck with this same liquid diet for the month after surgery as well.

Looking back on it now....13 months later......I wouldn't change a thing about how I approached it.

Grateful for the weight loss.

Three days to go! I could have done better on Thanksgiving but I've lost weight since and I have all the ketosis symptoms so I think I'm on track. I am so ready!

      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.

      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!!
