Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have a pre-surgery liquid diet? The liquid diet starts August 27th and I think I am more nervous about the 2 weeks of liquid than I am about the surgery!!!

I'm nervous about the liquid diet also, I feel like if I can't do that... then I will not be successful post-op!! Also, worried about my fatty liver.. not being small enough!!

I apologize for quoting then deleting - having a hard time getting the hang of the reply sometimes:) Dannipo, I so agree with you! I feel like if I can't do this then I shouldn't be having surgery. It still makes me nervous. I'm just trying to make sure I have all my tools in place before I start.

I'm having the surgery September 10th. It's Dr Valenzuela/Mi Doctor for me. Can't wait! I'm worried about my pre-op diet. I have to lose about 5-10 lbs which isn't that much but what if I lose too much??

      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.
