For how long? That Clear liquids thing is usually only for the last day or two pre-op.

That is truly extreme. Did they give you any scientific or medical reason why this is necessary?

To shrink the liver

Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using the BariatricPal App

But your liver will shrink by just putting your body into ketosis, which you do by consuming under 20 grams of carbs per day. Clear liquids is not a requirement for shrinking the liver. The VAST majority of us are able to drink low carb Protein shakes while on our pre-op liver-shrinking diet.

The quickest route to ketosis is to stay under 20... that's why 20 grams is the first stage of Atkins and then you gradually add carbs back. But every surgeon's pre and post-op plans are different. Best to stick to you surgeon's plan so if anything comes up, they will have a better idea of how to handle it.

@@jessjames Every Program has their own requirements and even some differ by patient in the same program. Consider yourself lucky - many have liquid only pre-op.

Oh believe me I am! Ha, I'll let you know how I get on

      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.
