Preop liquid diet ideas



Recommended Posts

I can have up to three shakes/day

But have only been able to get one per day down. I had some chicken broth. Maybe the Decaf coffee is a good idea. Do you use that instead of Water with powder?

I hate to tell you this, but honestly there is no easy way. You just have to bear down and do it. Pre op sucks, it was one of the hardest two weeks I've ever been through. .. and I'd do it again in a second for the results I've had. You can do it, just hang in there and it'll be a bad memory soon enough.

I'm only at the end of day 2 out of 14...

Any ideas to make this easier?

Or to make it feel more doable?

I am also at the end of day 2. I can have 3-4 Protein Shakes a day. I love my shakes, but so want something to eat! My sweet husband has been picking up egg-drop Soup from my favorite chinese restaurant. I just strain it and eat the broth, but it's better than canned broth. I have also been eating sugar free Jello. You don't know how many times I've thought to myself...Oh, I'm going to quit this and wait until fall. I won't of course, but it is pretty hard.

BTW, I use almond milk in my shakes. I think it's a little sweeter.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
