Sure it's possible. Is this the diet you were given by your surgeon?

Just follow the program prescribed for you.

Of course. It's actually a very easy and generous preop diet compared to mine. What part are you thinking isn't possible?

pretty much, although it seems different doctors and hospitals do different things of the same variation. My doctor wanted an all liquid Protein diet before surgery to help shrink the liver, clear out my system, boost my bodies ability to heal and decrease my chances of bleeding during & after surgery. Some people only had to do this 2 days, or none at all so it really depends. I'm glad I did the 2 weeks, I feel great and it prepared me for the liquid diet after the surgery

So I was given that diet or the two week liquid diet.. I choose the two week liquid diet, but I can't stomach the Protein shakes 5 times a day..

Mine was 2 weeks 3 Protein shakes/day and leafy green veggies. (Kale, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, etc). Lost 22 pounds and had a complication-free, pain free surgery and recovery.

I'd say either go to the other diet or find a different Protein shake....there's dozens out there with extreme variations of ingredients, taste and palatability. 5 shakes a day is a lot, but you'll have to find some thing that works for postop anyways. What can't you stomach about them?

Mine was similar to what you posted. Basically Protein and no carb. Do whatever you and your surgeon or NUT decide is best for you.

It is very hard bit it's also training you for post surgery because your going to be on liquids again while your belly heals. You, Your NUT & Dr need to be on the same page and have a plan that you can be successful at. No one wants to fail. Good luck to ya!!

I decided on the liquid before I tried, now I'm four days in and I'm getting weak because I'm not eating or drinking anything but Water and a little broth.

I've tried three different Protein shakes, I feel nauseous after drinking them.

Try changing shakes to a flavor you like, try adding Protein bars 1 or 2x a day and if anything be open and honest with your doctor, they know how to help

I've tried vanilla, strawberry and Cookies & Cream Bariatric Advantage. Oh I even had a sample of the chocolate whey Protein mix. I've been mixing fruit, Peanut Butter etc, the after taste us killing me. So that's one thing I'm afraid of Post-Op "I'm not going to be able to drink and I might make myself sick"

Try Syntrax nectar or Isopure. They are more like koolaid rather than a milk shake. A lot of people like Premier that's available in most grocery stores as well as costco and Sam's. I dilute all RTD shakes with milk or Water and use twice as much liquid as what the powders called for. Otherwise they were just too thick and sweet for me.

Personally I hated Bariatric Advantage. They got a two thumbs down in my taste testing experiments. Those and Isopure were by far my least favorites and wouldn't drink them if you paid me. I really like Syntrax, Premier, muscle Milk, Spirutein, unjury, syntha6, body fortress and Quest. Some flavors of Jay Robb were good, too. Taste and preferences are individual, so just keep trying new ones. You can get samples of dozens of Protein powders from Nashua Nutrition
