Tomorrow I will be on my second week of the pre op liquid diet. Although I am hungry it is getting easier! But I've only lost 5 1/2 lbs. I start clear liquid only tomorrow. Any suggestions on what to drink?

You can do Isopure, which is a clear Protein Drink that comes n several flavors. Not the tastiest but you can add crystal light to mask the taste. Can also do SF Jello, SF Popsicles, broth and Water with unflavored Protein and/or crystal light.

Does everyone go on a special diet as preparation for the surgery? I don't get my surgery date for another week.

Thanks!

Hi I'm copying this from the booklet I received from my NUT for the clear liquid diet. Drink at least 64 oz. of these liquids daily to prevent dehydration. Also replace Breakfast, lunch and dinner with one serving of an approved Protein drink. You need at least 60-80 gms of protein daily.

  • Thin broths or bouillon and bases
  • No added sugar gelatin
  • 100% fruit juice (apple, grape or cranberry) diluted half and half with Water.< br />
  • Sugar-free drinks like Kool-Aid and Crystal Light
  • Sports drinks such as Gatorade or Powerade diluted half and half with water
  • Sugar-free fitness waters, such as Propel and Fruit20
  • K2 Protein Water
  • No sugar added/sugar free Popsicles and frozen ice
  • Coffee and herbal and flavored tea, hot or cold
  • No sugar added hot apple cider
  • Artificial sweetener or naturally sweetened water with fruit or Stevia

Hope this helps.....Best of luck with your pre-op diet

      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.
