Pre-opt liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Well it's day two of my pre-opt liquid diet and I'm starving. I can hear my co-workers crunching away on food:(

I feel your pain. I'm on day three. How many weeks do you have? I have to do 3. I don't have co-workers, but family to deal with.

2 weeks so I guess I can't complain too much

Just curious...is the preop liquid diet...liquids only (all 3meals). I'm just starting the process.

Really depends on the doctor. Some are two shakes and just one meal with 4oz of meat two cups of veggies, others three shakes a day, some don't have pre opt diet, so many variations

Ugh yesterday (day 2) was worse than today. I have to have 5 shakes a day (already sick of them) ... then I get one serving of starch, fruit and veggie a day. I wish I could have some meat! Switching things around here and there to see what works best. It all sucks but it'll all be worth it in the end....or at least what I'm telling myself to get through thelse 2 damn weeks! Good luck to everyone!

Hang in there. I'm 7 days post op and the liquid diet sucked for the first 5 or so days. After that, I felt great, had a ton of energy and wasn't even hungry. It'll get better.

This gives me hope because I feel like I am dying on day 2 lol. My body is detoxing and making me feel ill (massive headache, night sweats, vomitting) just a few more days. It's crazy that I have done this to my body and all of the toxins that are in me. The way I feel right now just confirms that I have a serious food addiction.

Hang in the ladies.

So glad you posted this. I am on day 7 of a 2 week pre-op Protein Shake diet; and am STARVING!! I am beginning to get concerned with my experience after the ByPass.. will I feel like this most of the time? Right now I can eat some lettuce when it gets really bad, but after the procedure solid food will be a long way off.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
