Thanks. It amazes me how each surgeon has their own rules for the same surgery. Lol

I'm having my surgery at kaiser and we start with a pre op meal plan that we have to follow up until surgery. We have no liquid diet.< /p>

my surgeon also does surgeries for Kaiser in Denver. I wonder if that means there's a chance I won't have a liquid diet too? What's it like? Just super low carb and sugar free?
Here at kaiser in California, we have a 1200 calorie meal plan that's low carb and no sugar. We cannot drink Protein Shakes either

My date is November 10. I'm so excited. I can't wait to be on the other side of this! I have my pre op appointments tomorrow, and so far haven't been given a pre op diet. He told me not to gain any weight, but that's all. My brain is in weight loss mode, so I'm doing Protein shakes for Breakfast, a 300 calorie lunch and a 300 calorie dinner, at least for now. Even with that, I've only lost 1 1/2 pounds in 4 days.

Does anyone know why I wasn't given a pre surgery diet?

I am on the 10th too. Not sure why some people don't do preop. I was told to do 2 weeks. Day 3 down 11 to go. I am anxious but so excited as well. Happy to keep in touch. I am in Australia :)

Tried canned broth but it tastes greasy or fatty. It's the low fat kind. I need something not so sweet.

I feel the same. I would rather have something salty or even bland at this point.

I heard from a YouTube video that the broth tastes better if you cook actual chicken noodle Soup and then strain out the broth.

I'm having mine Tuesday, November 3rd! I'm so ready to be on the losers bench. I'm on Day 12 of my liquid diet which is all Clear Liquids and 3 Meal Replacements a day which consist of either a powdered flavored shake, powdered pudding or powdered Soup. I've lost 14 lbs so far and ready for this part to be over. I wish all of you the best of luck with your surgeries and I'll see you on the other side????????

      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.
