Day 1 Liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

Started my liquid diet today for my dec 3rd surgery. Things are going great except that my Keurig died this morning, so no Decaf coffee today. Talk about a kick in the butt, ha!! Well, all is good and I will get a new one later this week. Wish me luck!!

Best of luck during your pre-op! I found that the pre-op diet totally reset my system and now I really crave very simple foods. I can eat any amount of spiciness without problem, but I tend to gravitate toward simpler foods.

Just remember that if your head starts telling you that you're starving, you're not starving. All of us had enough weight on us pre-op to not starve for quite some time.

It was also awesome to lose 25lbs during my 2-week pre-op and 2-week post-op.

Just remember that the pre-op is just a blip on the radar of your life and will be over soon enough and then you'll be on the other side. :)

I too started my pre-op diet for my upcoming surgery December 1st. I have to say that it sucks because I have to still prepare meals for my family and yet all I can have is clear liquid items or Protein Shakes. Oh well...I just keep focusing on the end result and push on.

I just got my two week diet today. Not all liquid though like I thought. It's

3 Protein Shakes, 2 fruits, 1protein bar, one meal 300 cal or less and all the no starch veggies I want.

Then the 24 hrs before is all liquid.

It's funny how every surgeon is different

Just strained some progreso chicken orzo Soup with lemon and just ate the broth. Very tasty. 2 Protein shares, 2 hot teas, and lots of Water. So far so good.

@@Jen D My surgery Date is also December 3rd and I started my pre op diet today. So far it is going OK, it ends up being about 1200 calories between the Protein shakes and the veggies. How are you feeling today? Luckily I don't have to cook for anyone else or have any other "bad" foods in my house.

I started my pre-op diet today for my Dec 2nd surgery. Doing good so far but I am allowed to have Tomato Soup and oatmeal so that part is good. I'm sure I will get tired of eating Tomato Soup after a few days but it will all be worth it in the end! We've got this!

I also have a dec 2 date. I started today too.

I'm pretty sure I ate a half of a bag of baby carrots lol they said if I get hungry between times then eat veggies. So I did.

I'm strictly on Clear Liquids and Protein shakes so it pretty much blows. I went to kneaders today and asked for chicken noodle Soup with just broth. Tasted good, ate it with a shake. 2 days down...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
