This Pre-op diet is a b$@!:

One,

you are gonna be ok. It’s a hump and it takes time to make the change. I was so hungry too, but eventually that passed I got used to the liquid thing. Thankfully, after your surgery you will progress from liquids to solids in stages. Weeks 5-6 post op were the worst for me. I could not drink one more shake. But, I had to get the Protein or I wasn’t going to heal properly. So I found infusers and that worked to get me through and to this day I still drink them. There will be so much going on with changes just try to remember why you did it and stay the course. This is a lifelong change for the better and things will be different than you had been used to. But you can get through it😉

Wow that Breakfast sounds awesome! I will have to try something like that, my Breakfast usually consists of a Premier Protein shake and Water. Then lunch another shake and a strawberry or two. dinner is another Protein Shake 4 oz of lean meat and 1 cup of non starchy vegetables. Then I’ll end it with a sugar free popsicle. Suffice it to say I look forward to dinner! Lol I also drink 64 ounces of Water so I am using the bathroom a lot as well, thank god I am still working from home.

How much have you lost on the pre op so far ? How many days in ?

I’m jealous. I only get 2 Premier Protein shakes and clear liquids each day for two weeks. I’m struggling!

I’m starting day 4. Lost about a pond each day since I started. Was doing 700-900 calories a day for almost two months before and I’m down 25 ponds total (and lowered my BMI below 40).

Thank you. I’m threatening to eat friends, family, and coworkers. Wonder if they count as Clear Liquids (haha).
