All I was allowed on mine was SF Popsicles, SF Jello, broth, Decaf tea or coffee, Water flavorings, and water on top of 5 Protein Shakes a day.

Does everyone going through this surgery have to do a liquid only diet before the surgery? Or does it depend on the doctor?

Ree from what I see it depends on the diet. The purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink your liver so when it's tine for surgery it would make things easier. My dr has you do a liquid diet for 2 weeks post surgery.

My doc has a 1-day pre-op liquid diet only. I did it on Sunday. I give major props to those who do it for 2 full weeks because it was such a rough day! It was just so boring, and it really made me realize how often I turn to food out of boredom.

I talked to the NUT yesterday and asked her about the pre-op diet and she said I will have to do a liquid diet for 7 to 10 days. So how do I get the 7 days and not the 10 days? lol.

Wow..that is amazing.but what did they taste like? I have a seriously sensitive pallet. I can't get anything down that is suspect...lol. I had to retake my gastric emptying series 5 x's because I kept gagging back up the liquid they wanted me to swallow...ugh!

To be honest, not to good, but my nutritionist provided me mixing examples with the different flavors. The best was the chocolate flavor mixed with fat free milk, banana and ice. Next was the chocolate flavor mixed with fat free milk, Peanut Butter and ice.I lived off those two for the majority of my two weeks.

      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?

      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.
