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

I started my preop diet yesterday and it ain’t easy lol I stocked up on protein shakes and sugar free popsicles but nothing else. It is definitely doable but it’s hard not going to lie. Any one else feel this way?

    It’s very tough, not going to lie. I’ll be cheering you on from the rhythm section ❤️

  • I did a 2-week liquid diet (protein shakes) with no solid food at all. As others have said, it gets easier after a few days. Also, you won't feel this hungry again for months after your surgery.

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).
