Hello, Can someone give information about what you did for presurgery diet?

All liquid and purreed soups - Going to be a long week but it is worth it - Once you get the surgery you will be on the same diet for a short time. My suggestion is to get a Nutra blender or some sort of machine that will turn soup into liquid -

Stock up you do not want to have to go to the store - You can do pudding and some jellow and cottage cheese. But 50 hours before surgery go straight broth or liquids. BTW this change in diet and your nerves will begin to mess with your head, stay focused, Best decision i have every made-

Here is the tip that will make your life great

GET OUT OF BED AS SOON AS YOU CAN AFTER THE SURGERY, MOVE, SIP WATER, MOVE, TAKE THE DRUGS, MOVE, WALK, SIP, WALK. THE FASTER YOU GET THE AIR OUT THE BETTER.

reach out here anytime most of us have learned what not to do.

clear broth, protein shakes and SF jello popcicles. my surgeon had me go with protein shakes that were only 15-20g each that way i could have up to 5-6 a day.. he just wanted the protein to be no more than 120g a day.

We had no specific diet from the surgeon (thankfully), but insurance often requires some sort of medically supervised diet/exercise program for 3-6 months. For that, I started working on the habits that would sustain the weight loss years later (like today!) - cut out the crap, minimize the packaged/processed foods, particularly those with added sugar (which is most of them) more fresh fruits and veg, whole grains instead of processed white flour products, leaner meats. Basically all the things that a good RD will tell you to do. I worked on cutting the calories back to a level that I could sustain, but not the extreme levels promoted by some fad diets that only promote cheating. Lost about 50 lb over that six months which helped to reinforce the fundamentally good habits that I had developed (which still work today, years later.)

My doctor gave me the the 2 week sugar free liquid diet. Protein shakes, sugar free jello, sugar free ice pops, water and crystal lite.

24 hours before surgery i am allowed to have only broth, water and crystal lite. Wish i was allowed to have solid food, at least grilled chicken and salad.

Shakes. Tuna. Lowcal. Low carbs.
