I had no restrictions until the day before. Then only Clear liquids. Very big variations in what seems to be recommended

I have surgery on 28 April and am on the pre-op diet. I get 4 Protein shakes, two Protein Bars, one banana or cup of skim milk per day, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles, clear broth.

There does seem to be variations with the pre-op diet.

I was on a 1000cal a day liquid diet. I was only aloud Protein shakes, broth and sugar free Jello. It sucked!! After the first couple days it did get easier and I lost 18lbs in two weeks...it was crazy! Good luck

A little thing that helped me a ton what adding some spicy heat to the chicken broth, like chili powder and garlic. It made me feel fuller almost like I had a regular Soup. I still did that when I drink broth for something

I start my real pre op diet next week. The reason it varies from person to person mainly depends on BMI. People who aren't as overweight don't need it as long. My doc suggested a 1200 calorie diet from day 1 at his office 3 months ago and is having me do 10 day full liquid. My BMI is 46 I believe. Bigger people have bigger livers that have to shrink for surgery and that is done by liquid diet.

I am on a 5 day liquid diet starting tomorrow (thursday). I bought Jello, pudding, sugar free popsicles, regular gatorade and chicken broth. Anything else I'm missing? I'm really nervous to start it tomorrow. My surgery is also 4/26!! ????

My BMI was about that. Actually exactly 46. still no pre op diet and no trouble. There are patients larger & smaller where I go, they do not use the pre op diet for anyone. Hopefully, anyone willing to have surgery to help with weight loss has already learned to work with a sensible diet.

Hello!

My surgery is set for 4/26 and I literally just learned about this place I'm currently on my 2week Iiquid diet and I ate solid food. After starving all day at work, I came home and ate. Did you all really just drink Protein shakes for 2 weeks???

Yes. I did.

3-4 Pure Protein (nice and thick....filling) or Premier Protein (thin) ready mix shakes were what I used mainly.

Spaced them out throughout the day......lots and lots of Water, coffee and Diet Dews were enjoyed during that time, too.

I figured there was no reason to deny myself my beloved Diet Mountain Dews leading up to surgery....my surgeon didn't care, either.

Those were the last of my Diet Mountain Dews. It's been six months and I don't miss them at all.....nor do I miss the 170 pounds that have melted away since then, either. :)

Post op I stuck with the thin Premier Protein due to it being thin and easy to get down.

I had a two week liquid diet- just Protein Shakes, sugar free Popsicles, Jello and broth. I stuck to it and didn't cheat due to fear. I was so worried my liver would not shrink enough and there could be the potential for complications from the fatty liver getting in the way of the surgery. So fear kept me on track.

      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.
