"Eat for long-term health NOT temporary punishment." 🥰 "Show-up in fighting shape like a fricken warrior" is another phrase that cracked me up but is HIGHLY motivating for me. Great messages, Erin! 😂

My PCP and I are going to discuss her giving me a referral for surgery, when I go in for my next follow up, in a couple of weeks. You have been so inspiring for me! I have been really trying to eat more veggies and I'm trying to learn to love more of them. I'm pretty picky with veggies - I do prefer most raw (I hate cooked carrots, too, but love them raw!) I know this is going to take a change of mindset and I'm putting on that blue woad and getting ready for battle. :) Thank you for making these videos.

This is so true, I was working out 2 hours everyday for 2 months before surgery and whilst on my pre-op diet I struggled. I could only do 70 minutes tops. The pre-op diet is practically protein shakes (5 tops), water, and only 2-3 cups pf veggies. Also broth, but I couldn’t stomach broth 🤮 so I also binged on veggies.

@emilyal-zeibak7862 3 жыл бұрын

Hi from the UK! Thanks for all of your videos I've found them really helpful! I've got my surgery date for gastric sleeve on 7th May (2 weeks time). I am on day 1 of my pre-op diet which is 800 calories per day. They said I could either do the "Milk diet" (eight 200ml glasses of milk a day plus four small 10 calorie jellies and a drink of Bovril) or the "Yogurt and Soup diet" which consists of four servings of 200g Chicken broth soup (or two servings a day of a slightly higher calorie soup like beef and vegetable) plus four low calorie small yogurts and a small glass of milk). I am finding it HARD. I started today with the Milk version and by dinner time I was feeling so frustrated and hungry. I have switched to the "Yogurt and Soup" version and I feel much happier and like I've actually had something that gives me a slight feeling of being satiated. I've also have the worst headache all day which hasn't helped and it is really hard around the rest of the family with them eating at meal times. How did you keep going through it?

@Blazer19742002 3 жыл бұрын

This was really helpful. I have a food addiction but my worst is Coke Zero. The massive headaches I get when I go just 1 day without any are insane. I go for my pre-op consult on the 30th of the month and I'm pretty anxious about what is going to be said. Thanks so much for sharing your experience! :-)

I knew there had to be healthier options! I'm a cancer survivor so I stay away from processed foods and artificial sweeteners.. It's very encouraging to know I can choose better options.

My preop diet is 2 protein shakes with milk and 2 protein shakes with water, 6 servings of carbs like cream of wheat, cup of fruit, yogurt or puddling all sugar free and unlimited non starchy veggies. I’m on day 4 of 14. Struggling but doing ok. I bought Unruly protein chicken soup powder and that has helped a lot.

I am halfway through my pre-op diet. I’m on Optifast plus veggies, minus starchy veggies. I am now finding it hard to eat everything I am supposed to. I know that sounds strange. As of yet I haven’t had any cravings but I feel soooo tired. I just keep telling myself how important it is that my liver shrink. I find it do-able when I realise it’s for health and safety reasons. But, there is no way that I could stay on this diet long term. I’d lose it and end up eating every fatty, sugary thing in sight.😂

I am in pre-op right now. Two weeks of 2-3 protein shakes a day, unlimited non-starchy veg plus up to 6 ounces of lean meat per day. I'm on day 4, and it's not fabulous. I haven't cheated, despite the Easter basket full of candy that my mom brought to me.( erg. Thanks for the sabotage, Mom.) But my BIG FEAR is that I'll get down to Mexico and they'll tell me "no-- your liver is still too big" despite following the diet to a T.

I have just started the pre. I'm told three shakes a little lean meat thunk 100g and >2cups non starch veggies things like miso soup and any sugar free drinks are OK. Also berry's. Sadly no other fruit. So I had a few shakes. A egg omelette and a midi soup but I get really hungry so had some canned chicken and tuna. But it's day one of three weeks so I'm doing good so far. I was told two weeks minimum.

I was thin/average my whole life until the past 3 years and now suddenly I’m 80+ pounds overweight. I eat 3 meals a day, 1 meal is salad with just vinegar, 1 meal is toast and black coffee. The other meal is something like tacos or spaghetti and a recommended portion size. When I track my foods I’m right around 1200. I eat tons of vegetables. Zero processed foods. I’m a vegetarian and allergic to many plant based proteins so my protein is enough but on the low side. I cannot figure out how to lose weight. I’ve been to doctors multiple times and dietitians. I’m at a loss. I feel like I must have horrible metabolism. I dropped an ice pack on both feet months ago so I’m limited in what activities I can do. My neck is getting big and I’m snoring more. I had a sleep apnea test that came back fine. Hypothyroid is not an issue. Anyway I’d welcome any advice .
