Pre-op Liquid Diet question

[ojibway 203]

I'm starting my Pre-op liquid diet this coming weekend Nov 9th and Surgery the 24th. Any suggestions or warnings about the phases of the pre-op diet? I read a couple of blogs about loose bowel movements or severe hunger the first few days. My Dr is letting me eat as many Green Veggies I want, plus 3 Protein Shakes a day. I hate the consistency of milk shakes, so I'm having a hard time finding the right protein..so far I have tried powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Jay Robb eggwhite Protein and nectar.. so far I like the nectar protein best. not to sweet. anybody else have the same instructions for pre-op diet???

I am 1 week post op and also had to do the 2 week full liquid pre-op and did Unjury chocolate shakes 2 times daily and Soup at night. (No veggies like you) My soup could be hearty soup, even turkey chili, just not cream based Soups. It was tough the first 4 days. No stomach issues ever I just wanted to chew something and as much as I loved the shakes, I was soooooo tired of them after the first week. I never in my life looked so forward to soup in my entire life! Lol! After, much of the same but it's easier because you don't want to eat. At least I haven't. I had the Plication with the band.

I used Premier Protein ready made shakes, I liked them. I recommend G2 or Vitamn Water Zero to keep your electrolytes in balance. It helped with hydration, headaches and the light headedness.

Good luck!
