October Surgery Dates

[Clairpooh 53]

Liz.. what is your preop diet? They told me I will have to drink shakes, but that's it..is that the whole diet? Can't eat anything?

I know you asked Liz, whats her preop diet, but i just wanted to throw my 2cents in. My doctor approved me to drink Oh Yeah Protein supplements with unsweetened soy milk, almond milk, or 1 % milk. I have to drink 1200 calories a day. At first they wanted me to drink Unjury which is what they recommend for all their patients however i wasn't able to keep it down (it was that bad)........

Sorry accidentally sent before I finished I'm on a low carb liquid diet 70 grams of Protein or more and less than 30 grams carbs I'm supposed to drink 5 Atkins shakes to hit my protein goals as they have 15 grams of protein each and between 2 to 5 grams carbs each I am also allowed sf Jello and broth lately I've only been getting in 2-3 shakes a day

Thank you for your replies! I have been researching it and it looks like every surgeon is a little diff.. but I didn't know if you could have Soups, or a sensible dinner? But looks like ALL liquid. will be a good jump start on post op diet and weight loss! Good luck to all the oct surgeries! I'm hoping for my surgery date today.. can't wait!!

Im on a liquid diet for 4 weeks and im 9 days in. Im on 7 supplements a day which can be Soup, shake, or bars. I can eat a total of 1 cup of cucumbers, any bell pepper or lettice & celery, I also can have 1c sf Jello, unlimited sf popsicles, unlimited diet decaffeinated pop, tea and decaffeinated coffee. I have to get in at least 64 ounces of fluids a day, everything I drink counts as the 64 oz except caffeinated beverages. However much caffeinated beverages I drink I have to replace it with Water. I can have sf mints and gum.

So do you have to continue on liquid? That is my biggest fair, have to be reschedule.

[EmpressLizBunny 18]

Oh yah I'm down 15lbs since starting my liquid diet

[EmpressLizBunny 18]

Yep liquid diet for forever! Yay(total sarcasm)

[EmpressLizBunny 18]

Although I'm supposed to be on a full liquid diet I let myself have a cup of hot and sour Soup to reward myself for putting up with my drs offices ineptitude and not having a meltdown/yell at them
