Some of us have no pre-op diet but most do. Every doctor will have their own protocol. Some want you on an Atkins type diet. Some want only liquids, some want to keep the carbs below 40.

X fingers for you to not have a pre-op diet!

I am on day 6 of pre op clear liquid diet along with dr prescribed Optifast. shakes are tasty but i am starving. Have con't to work and sometimes i feel like i might not make it. I have a strong faith in God and it helps to pray. Fighting my food demons. Had no idea they were there until all food was taken away!! Dr said that is one reason for such a long strict diet. After 5 days ate 2 bites of a hot dog with bun and 20 min later severe cramps. No more hotdogs for me. It has been a ling (3 year) journey for me my surgery in 1 week. Congrats and good luck. If it is meant to be it will work out. If God leads you to it. He will get you through it ????

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
