Dr Gill is my surgeon too! And Dr Scott is there anything else you are eating? Or a diet plan you follow? String cheese, broth glucerna and meatballs? I've been allowed 2 c veggies

I agree I'm struggling with the rational of this diet and the consumption of Ensure....I to have had the dietician threaten me. We probably have the same one. Thank you for the insight.

Hi, i am going through the program. Reach out to the clinic if you haven't heard from them in a week. From there you will be require to do three short courses either online or in person. Once that is complete and you decide to commit to the program you will start to meet with the nurse, dietician, and psychologist. It took 6-8 months at least to meet the surgeon. Then I had to do a barium swallow and a endoscope to ensure there were not concerns. Now due a restriction in surgical hrs, I've been switched to a different surgeon and he has a different take. But I'm now only about 3 months from my surgery date. Hope that helps. Message me if you have any questions

This is my pre-op diet.

Sadly, yes I really have to do a liquid diet for 3 months. It's day 1, I've had 2 frankenfoods (Ensure High Protien) and I have a headache. The surgeon says he has seen excellent results from patients who do this. He also wants to do a sleeve and then next year if I want the bypass. My surgeons were switch and this is the new protocol from the new surgeon. Ugh... I'm not happy. It's not completely a liquid diet, I'm allowed 2 cups veggies per day, water, tea, coffee, sugar free water enhancers, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles and broth. I know, try not to be too excited about that meal plan. Just wondered if anyone else had gone thru this.
