Pre-op LIQUID DIET HELP



Recommended Posts

So, FINALLY after dealing with the stupid EXPLETIVE EXPLETIVE weight loss center in Beverly Hills its finally over and my wife and I got a surgery date for August 26th at St Josephs instead. YAY!!!! I started my pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks!!! First day is pretty good especially since I had my last big meal last night. J My last meal of choice…. You guessed it, im in the west coast so I went with In & Out (2 burgers). I have to say it tasted the best it has ever tasted.

Question about the liquid diet? Can I have and juices, coffee or tea? I am attending a party on Saturday and I was wondering if I can even have a couple of cocktails, or is this something where I can only have Water and the liquid shakes? ?? What do you guys think?

I was told no alcohol & no carbonated or caffeinated beverages.< /p>

Acceptable Clear Liquids are: decaffeinated tea and coffee, sugar free kool aid, sugar free Jello, sugar free/clear popsicles, clear broth and bouillon, crystal light, minute maid light, diet snapple and sugar free/ low sugar Protein supplements.< /p>

Hope this helps :)

NO ALCOHOL.

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver.

Alcohol is directly opposed to that. I would not be able to do any parties right about now.

Parties and alcohol will always be here.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
