Anyone have just a 2 day pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I have a choice of the 2 week Optifast or 3 day pre-op liquid, but most people choose the liquid, as I am.

Depemds a lot on dr. And previous weightloss. My last solid meal was Breakfast the day prior to surgery then clear fluids until midnight that night. The week before I was on south beach phase one.

But at the beginning of my journey and before scheduling any tests they wants to see my commitment to losing 5%. I did that.

My suregon said if you have a good suregon, it's not necessary to do weeks worth of liquid dieting before the surgery to shrink your liver. The skill is what is necessary.

Well, a good surgeon still has to work around the liver and having a smaller liver is always going to make things easier, quicker and ultimately better results for quick recovery. I've been diagnosed with fatty liver in the past, so whether my surgeon requires it or not, I probably will.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
