Easing Into Liquid Diet?!?

[vanb0052 40]

Hello all! I officially start my 10 day liquid pre-op diet on June 1st From going through the plan with my NUT it doesn't seem so bad. I need to have 5 Meal Replacement shakes a day (can have a 6th if I really need it)...plus all the Water, non-caloric drinks (Vitamin Water 0, 0 calorie sports drinks, crystal light), tea/coffee, sugar free Jello, and sugar free popsicles I want, They want me to stay away from the whey Proteins, and have slimfast or carnation instant Breakfast so I'm getting some nutrients as well.

Has anyone tried easing into the liquid diet by starting one week replacing one meal, and the next week replacing two meals? Seems like it may help ease the pain. Thanks for your input. Love you all

Congratulations on getting your date. It certainly wouldn't hurt anything to start now.

Good luck!

Hey! We have the same surgery date!! I'm getting started this week....today was my day 1....

I go see my Dr. for my last pre-op appt on Tuesday.....my actual start date for the pre-op diet is May 31st, but I'm starting now....I know I will not be perfect so I rather allow myself one week of slip ups then I can hopfully coast the last 2 weeks....

On day 2 of my pre-op diet. I was wonderingng if any one knows if I can have peanuts or almonds during the next 10 days?? I can eat most Proteins and anything sugar free right now, as well as Protein supplements.

Once I'm on my official 10 day pre-op diet, I'm not allowed anything solid. I wish I could help!
