So far I have lost approx. 25 lbs. on my own and should lose some more this week, since I'm on the pre-op liquid diet.
(20-30 grams protein, but spread amongst 3 liquid meals).
64 oz. plus liquid daily.
They gave me 4 stages of foods:
1st stage- all done in the hospital, basically liquids only after they test everything out for leaks, etc...
(no real protein).
64 oz. plus liquid daily.
2nd stage-Liquids, Dairy, adding Protein Powders, Cream of Wheat, grits, unsweetened oatmeal. No fruits or veggies. Do this until 1st week post op visit.
(60 plus grams protein daily).
64 oz. plus liquid daily.
3rd stage-Adding eggs, fish, poultry, lean deli meats, non-fat refried beans, vegetarian soy products, black bean burgers, low fat cheeses, peanut butter, hummus, etc..Introducing No sugar added fruits. Can have unsweetened applesauce, small banana, and Non-Starch, Non-Stringy Soft cooked veggies. Do this for 3 weeks.
(60 plus grams protein daily).
64 oz. plus liquid daily.
4th stage- same as stage 3, and Adding whole grains, whole wheat pasta, fruits and veggies (after 2 months into stage 4), and then follow through with healthy small portions rest of my life.
(60 plus grams protein daily).
64 oz. plus liquid daily.
