I'm on day 7 of the pre-op liquid diet. My surgery is April 1. The first two days were the worst. Now I just try to take comfort in the convenience of just grabbing a Protein Shake or sugar free Jello and moving on to do something else.

I'm just ready to have the sleeve done! I know once that's done I won't be as tempted as I am now. I'll have more discipline

In most cases, the pre-op diet is used mainly to 'shrink the liver'...

In my case, if the liver hadn't shrunk enough, the surgery wouldn't have gone ahead...

So if you're 'serious' about having the surgery, then yeah, the pre-op diet is probably something you should pay some heed to...

I think that if you are on the 45gm carb diet prior to the liquid diet it's easier to do liquids since your stomach isn't growling as much. That's what I am hoping for

Is the pre-op liquid diet weight dependent? Curious because I only had to do liquids the day before surgery with nothing after midnight.

Hi All,

I'm on day 13 of my two week pre-op liquid diet. This is truly mind over matter. I thought ny first week would be more difficult but my second week was harder. My liquid diet consisted of 4-5 Protein shakes, one cup of beoth, and unlimited sugar free Jello and Popsicles. I made the mistake of working out so make sure you have enough energy before trying. Keep your focus on the end surprise. Don't cheat this helps you post-op! Sunday will be night before I'm not to have anything but Water after 6pm and nothing after 10pm. Surgery set for 845am. Good luck to us all and kudos for all post-op and speedy recoveries!
