Protein Shake Pre Op Diet

I went first, he went 2 weeks later. Didn't know about the hernia until after surgery. Never had heartburn. No acidity until recently for 1 day, and it passed. I had absolutely no nausea. Ever. It has been awesome. So many people have different problems, that I know we are blessed. We are 66 and 67 years old and feel like the weight of the world is off our shoulders with this surgery.

I lost 20lbs in six weeks doing the shakes for each meal with salad as a back up. Also used miso Soup as a snack when needed.

Checked weight today on day 6 of my home cooked chicken Soups, salads + 1 pc of chicken in Soup per meal - lost 6 kilos! Loads of Water + 2 cups of tea daily. Surgeon happy! Hiatus Hernia repair + sleeve scheduled for 7th morning.

My Dr has my husband and me on "optifast" liquid diet for two weeks. It consists of 4 Protein shakes one cup of Soup made with a powder and one Protein Bar. We are allowed 3 servings of sf jell-o and sf popsicles. We also get all the Water, Decaf tea/coffee we want! It has taken all the guess work out of what we can and can not eat. It's a little tough but I don't have hunger pains, just head hunger. This is just to shrink the fatty liver and we will lose weight but there was no set "must" amount. Good Luck!
