Anyone doing a restrictive diet before the liquid diet?

I'm doing a shake for Breakfast each morning then 4-5 small meals through the day and focusing on Water intake. I want to wean into this so I don't feel so deprived.

Many patients have doctor mandated diets. I do not, only the 2 week pre-diet. But I did put myself on onet starting six weeks out. I cut out carbs, sugar and caffeine. Haven't totally cut out my wine yet, but now only once a weekend. I'm down 8 lbs this week.

Did you put yourself on one or is this dr. mandated? Good for you either way, its good to be as healthy as you can prior to surgery

I went on one myself! A week before my two week liquid only pre-op (that I am in now, on day 4) I completely cut out caffeine/soda and carbs, and only had a Protein shake for breakfast/lunch and then some grilled chicken for dinner. It helped so much and now the liquid only pre-op diet has been a breeze so far.

No I just wanted to do it. My dr only requires 1 week liquid liver shrink. I'm assuming my date will be about 4 weeks from now. They call a week-2 weeks before to schedule so I won't know. I want to lose 25lbs before the liquid diet so I'm eating mostly the same as I would after surgury. Cutting down carbs around 600 calories a day 65g Protein. 64oz Water. Going to also start walking each night.

That's what I'm hoping I mostly only drink Water anyway so I won't have to cut out soda. Struggle for me is going to be bread, Pasta, and rice.
