Pre-op diet starts tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Ok. Since I'm a traveling nurse and a cash pay patient, everything is going by quickly. I decided to have the surgery about 3 weeks ago, had consultation, paid money and am scheduled for next Wednesday. I'm feeling a certain way, because I'm not being told anything. I've heard about the preop diet but haven't been told to start one. Should I be concerned? What is the preop diet all about?

Our paths seem very similar! I am a dental hygienist, self-pay patient who had my first consultation on 1/2/17 and scheduled for the surgery on the 27th. Just curious where you are and how much you will be paying for your procedure. I am having mine at a surgical center and my total cost will be $12k in Utah.

So I'm almost done with Day 5 and honestly I'm so proud of myself for not breaking. This is the first day I'm home all day while on my liquid diet. The kids were at grandmas too and I was so worried I was gonna break and just eat everything in site. But I didn't. Having shake 3 now. I save my last shake until literally right before bed to avoid waking up hungry at night.

I downed about 6 Popsicles tho. Every Time I had the urge to eat something I ate a Popsicle.

Down 9lbs since the 17th and that keeps me so motivated!!!

I'm now on day 4 of my pre-op diet and as of this morning I have lost 10 pounds! I mean, I know what the scale says, but I still can't believe it. Even though I'm allowed to eat 2 small meals a day, I'm still hungry all the time, although I notice the hunger goes away after I eat a Calcium chew (I was saving those for post-up, but I needed something solid to chew). And guess what? The hunger went away. Maybe it's stomach acid that's mimicking hunger signals, and since calcium is alkaline, it shuts it right down? Regardless, I'm going to keep experimenting with that over the next few days and see if that helps on a regular basis, or was just a fluke.

@@bill1130 - I'm interested in the Kik group, even though I don't know what it is. I'll download the app and set myself up soon.

On day 4 of shakes, have no energy at all. Is that normal?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Day 4 was horrendous for me. But I pushed through and I'm on day 5 now and doing much better.

Hang in there. You can do this!

      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.
