What Is Your Pre Op Diet?



Recommended Posts

My Dr just told me to loose 10 lbs. I'm trying to appeal my ins. Denial but still want to lose the weight so if it is approved I'm ready to go!

Are you on Protein Shakes? How many calories a day? Are you only Clear Liquids for 2 days prior to surgery?

My preop diet wasnt bad

3-5 Protein Shakes a day i used eas lite choc.

One meal-

i could have 5 oz of lean meat/fish no fried

2 cups of veggies

no corn or starches

Was allowed maybe a tbls of fat( butter/dressing)

Mustard came in handy

I did some sliced turkey deli meat with mustard and spinach same with roast beef

Baked chicken with steamed broc and.carrots

I seasoned it to change up the taste.

Hope this helps a lilbit

No wheat/ starch

No sugar

Low fat

No carbonation

Lots of Water and rest!

Good luck!

Mine will start November 26. But it's 15 days of 5 shakes a day and all the clear liquids and sf Popsicles and Jello I want ;-)

My pre op is fairly simple. For 1-2 weeks a 1,200 calorie diet and 2 days before surgery, clear liquids.

However I'm very paranoid about my liver being fatty so I plan on adding 2 days of full liquids between low cal and clears :)

I'm very lucky my surgical team has such realistic guidelines. Post op is pretty easy, 3-4 days clears, a little over a week full liquids/mushies then solids. All pretty much at my own pace. But my nut trusts me. She knows how paranoid I am about a leak haha

I am allowed 4-5 shakes a day, up to 900 calories. The shakes are through Bariatric Advantage and I can mix in fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, and skim milk but cannot eat any of those foods alone - strictly shakes :(

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
