For my PreOp diet I'm on mostly liquids but can have some veggies and a little meat. I like Water so I have no problem drinking that but my question is what are some other sugar free liquids that I can try?

I obviously drink my milk and Protein shakes and I've tried Popsicles and Gelatin but I'm looking for some new options. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I lived on good quality chicken broth made by me. When I got to the pre op diet I seriously would have failed if not for that. I was not allowed anything to eat, just Protein shakes, sf drinks, sf Popsicles and broth. Thank god my diet was only 14 days.

I can remember the first 3 being the hardest and by the time I got to the day before where I could have nothing but Clear Liquids my brain was like mush! LOL

My husband simply didn't get that I seriously had brain fog and I can remember jumping down his throat telling him I was going to remove his food and put him on this liquid diet just to see how long he would last.

Well about 6 months after my surgery my hubby wanted to begin losing weight and his doctor suggested trying the same diet just to rid himself of his sugar/carb addiction. He however could have a 4 oz. piece of chicken and a salad with low fat dressing.

I had to laugh because he literal could not make it through day 1 and apologized about 1000 times for his stupidity when I was on a 14 day liquid only diet.

It is hard to do but if you keep yourself really well hydrated it makes it easier. Honestly....then just take 1 day at a time. Don't think about how much time you have left on the diet. You will be at surgery day before you know it.

Good luck!

For my Pre-op diet, I am only allowed 5 Protein shakes per day or 4 shakes and one broth. Water. Can have 8-12 oz of decaffeinated tea or coffee.

I will be on the same schedule when it finally starts!

I am mostly glad as it will eliminate the "I have options so I will screen it up" factor.

I'm allowed to have 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops. I'm on day 1 and totally hating it. My only hope is that time will pass and I will soon start dropping all this weight :)

      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.
