I had a food party on Friday cause come Monday, I'm going in my 2 week pre-OP liquid diet. Thing is, my doctor never put me on a pre-OP diet so i don't know what to take in or drink. Just anything liquid or are there restrictions??

Nervous!! It's coming so quickly!!!! My date is February 27th.

I suggest you speak to the doc doing the sleeve or asked to be referred to a nutritionist that specializes in pre-op and post-op sleeves.

Oh i guess i should mention that I'm getting surgery in Seoul (where i live) and they don't assign nutritionist. (I guess not unless you speak perfect Korean lol!).

I assume most liquids are a go as long as they're healthy?

Not that I'm a cheater or anything' date=' but did anyone try laxatives to get rid of some excess weight a few days before the final weigh in?[/quote']

I was thinking of maybe doing that the day before I start my liquid diet!

I have tea that helps with digestion and pretty much to cleanse you out. Lol! Doing that tonight since I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow. I've been eating too much junk lately so my body feels disgusting!!

Good luck to you!

My liquid diet starts today! My husband took me out to a chinese buffet last night, and then I got popcorn afterwards at the movie theatre...just a couple of my favs The coffee is brewing for my hubs right now, and the smell is wonderful! But since I only like my coffee with full fat cinnabon Creamer, I will abstain.....Bring on the Protein shakes..LOL.

Hello everyone. I am on day 4 of the 7 day liquid diet. I did pig out. I didn't do too much damage, but I did eat what I wanted. Actually the liquid diet isn't too bad. I am drinking the Bariatric Essentials, a lot of Crystal Light/Water, and sugar free popsicles. I could not stomach the broth. Ugh! My surgery is on Thursday, 2/14/2013 (Valentine's Day). I have lost 10lbs in 3 1/2 days. I have dogs and I have to walk them. Also, I love music and like to dance. I also like to clean so the constant sweating I think has helped with me losing so fast. I would tell you all to keep yourselves positively occupied. By day 3-4, it becomes quite normal. I am on a 800 calorie restriction, therefore, I try not to overdo it in the cardio department but as you lose it makes you feel better and better. I am more concerned with the liver shrinking aspect of all of this which is why I made my mind to not cheat and follow the doctors directions to the T. Good luck to you all.
