Pre Op Diet Starts today ! Has Anyone else done one similar?

Hi everyone

Pre op diet starts today !!!!!

its pretty much as below :
Daily Allowances :
1pint semi skimmed milk (use in tea coffe etc)
200ml fresh orange juice

Breakfast

1 weetabix / 1 small bowl (200ml) of unsweetend porridge add milk from DA

Mid morning

100ml of fruit juice / tea or coffe with milk allowance

lunch & Dinner (choose one )

200ml bowl of soup -no pots rice or pasta in soup or bread with soup
& small pot low fat yogurt / low fat custard

3oz lean cooked meat , chicken or fish (no sauces , gravies, no mayo or dressings!)
serve with salad or 4 dessertspoons of cooked veg (no sweetcorn/peas/beans)

supper rest of milk allowance in low cal drink mix ie hirlicks

extras - sugar free jelly when hungry


Im needing ideas what i can do with the chicken at dinner times!? do you think i could do it in a garlic maggie bag ??? or paprika spices?

 

[weegie]

Looks OK. Better than 4 pints of milk a day .

Spices would be my choice. I like Cajun chicken or Blackened chicken you can use it on fish and lean pork. Tasty.

Exciting time.

Good luck with your pre-op diet. Your op is 2 days after mine nerve-racking isn't it.

Weegie I'm glad I never got the milk diet I'd have died hate milk lol !
I think spices is the route I'll go lots of choice too ! X

Gill I'm excited & nervous at the same time !
How are you getting on with ur pre op?
Xx

 

[GlasgowJJ]

1st day on pre op went ok !
Couldn't use all my milk allowance - really don't like it !
Lentil soup at lunch
Chicken salad & low fat custard

Jelly in between ??

Here's hoping the next 13days are as good !

I did a 1000 low calorie LSD for 4 weeks , looking back it wasnt too bad got use to weighting food and not really having to think as I was given, like you a list of foods I could eat
im thinking about doing it again, just for one week as my weight loss as slowed down a bit (7 months post WLS)I guess it cant hurt just make sure I get my proteins in
very good luck on your diet !

I am 7months post op and my weightloss slowed down dramaticly! In a week I now loose less than half the amount i did a month ago. I think its perfectly normal for the weightloss to slow down! And please consult your dietitian about going back on pre op diet..

Does anyone think I could have 2 eggs for my protein instead of meat or chicken ?

 

[GlasgowJJ]

Oki so 3rd day into the LSD and I'm feeling so low today . Been bubbling away - thinking this is my carb crash happening !
Just feeling all emotional over daft things - worrying about the op , worrying about me after it , started bubbling at the thought of my hubby having to survive for 2/3 nights without me ( in all honesty and normal mind wouldn't have phased me) I started stressing about making sure I had my sets of bedding cleaned for easy changed after hosp !
Arghh driving myself crazy - has anyone else felt like this ?!?! Please say it's not just me ! The

I'm managing ok with the eating (lack of ?) but enjoying what I am eating - so on that front all is good ! Thought I'd have been climbing the walls but k owing in doing it for my own health & sanity is keeping me going ! PLUS can have 2 eggs instead of my chicken etc so that's a bonus love an egg .

I'm on day 2 of LSD and its hard going. I'm on the milk diet, I thought it would be easier if I completly took food out of the mix. I can honestly say I'm not hungry but just missing the comfort of food. I know how you feel though I'm on a very short lead and ready to blow my top at the smallest thing. I just have to keep reminding myself why I'm doing this. I see were round about the same weight and having the same procedure. By the end of the year we should be healthy and looking good!

 

[RES]

milk diet for me

So yours looks pretty good. Opted for milk diet because it doesn't need any thought - no choices.
Started yesterday for sleeve on 8th May.
Good luck with your diet and operation.

I'm doing the same telling myself it's for the greater gd etc ! Xxx

I've gone through a crying stage and I haven't even had my pre-op appointment ...!!! Lol
I think it's perfectly normal because so many of us have been over weight since childhood and this is a huge step towards a new life x

I can totally relate - I had a full year of appts with my surgeon before he said yes (& that's private!) & I went through the mill . Thought this would be the easy bit! But as you said we've been overweight that long that this is our normal .

Thanks reassuring words xxx

Morning all - sorry have turned this into my own personal diary - my up's & down's my worries the lot ! (tune out if im boring you!)

Day 4 was an oki day - 1st day i have actually felt hunger tbh !
Think it was because i was around people eating away at carby things ! Stayed strong things will get better !

Emotionally i was crabbit as anything yesterday - felt sorry for my partner honestlty bit his head off so many times . This not eating stuff and keeping your mind occupied gives you so much room to think about other stuff tbh ! need to keep busy and stop stressing about daft things !

Food wise day 4 was a good day
1 weetbix with milk
200ml orange juice

weight watchers soup (lentil & bacon)
Shape yogurt <3

2 pots of jelly through the day

coffee with milk

Chicken flavured with tikka spices cooked with onions mushrooms and peppers

Slept well last night too - think the lack of energy is helping me sleep !

Day 5 today

Felling bouncy and positive today ! 1 week on Thursday till OP - OMG yessss !
will update later ! xx
