Hello, everyone I'm a gastric sleeve patient that's had a few complications with the sleeve and I'm now scheduled for a revision to the bypass on March 16th due to those complication... Anyway I'm required to do a 2 liquid diet and I'm concerned about my blood sugar dropping to low because I'll be working up until the day before my surgery and my job requires a lot of moving and lifting and sweating continuously for the first four or five hours not to mention I usually workout an hour a day. Any suggestions that could possibly help with managing my blood sugar and avoiding dehydration prior to surgery

Are you able to do clear Liquid Protein? I am on clear liquids two days as well and was told clear liquid Protein is acceptable. I ordered some from a bariatric site. Good luck.

I'm on day 2 of my 2 day Pre op liquid diet. I was told that Isopure clear is okay.

Does anyone know if the chicken broth has to be fat free ? I bought regular wondering if I need to return it??

Depends on your surgeon. Mine didn't say anything about fat free, but he did want it to be low sodium or homemade. Either way, I can't imagine it's a deal breaker, but if you're concerned ask your doc.

      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.
