Pre-Op Liquid Test Diet



Recommended Posts

Is it a specific liquid that he has you on, or you get to choose? I'm guessing something like Optifast. (some preset balance of protein/carbs/fat and ~800-1000 cals per day?)

It's the first couple days that are the hardest; after that for some reason it's a bit easier. Body gets used to not having as much in your stomach, probably.

Hot liquids helped me: hot herbal tea, hot coffee, etc. for times when I felt like munching on something. And I kept raw veggies around -- cukes, radishes, carrots, celery -- stuff that I don't mind eating without dressing and they add negligible calories.

Good luck! Just less weight to lose later! :)

I didn't have to do a pre-op liquid diet. I did have several "last suppers" where I ate like it was my last supper! I only had to do the liquid diet after my banding. Sorry I can't help!
