Pre-Op Liquid/Liver Shrinking Diet List



Recommended Posts

Please post what was on your pre-op diet list. I am curious to see how they differ from doctor to doctor.

I was allowed 3 Protein Shakes a day (with specific nutritional requirements), one green salad per day with calorie-free dressing, and sugar-free Jello or popsicles. I was also supposedly allowed "occasional" chicken broth or minestrone Soup, but I didn't do that.That was for 15 days pre-op.

I have a two week Protein shake plan. I can have 3-4 shakes a day plus the usual things like sugar free pops and Jello. Its only day two for me and its very hard, especially every two minutes there is a food commercial on the tv.

      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.
