tiff291 45 Posted September 14, 2016 Hello Everyone! I start my liquid diet tomorrow and thankfully I only have to do it for a week. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, September 22nd. Any tips or ideas of products to try? I have Crystal Light, sugar-free Popsicles, chicken broth, Protein shakes (from my surgeon's office), and sugar-free hello. Also any tips or reminders for things I should do before my surgery date (besides what the surgeon has told me)? Feel free to share, anything is useful!

KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 14, 2016 @@tiff291 I like Powerade Zero (no calorie drink) if you can have that. What kind of Protein shakes did they have you get? I have to do Bariatric fusion and I was wondering what flavors are best. Good luck tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hey, I still had some really strong gas pains this morning, but my husband got me out of the house and we walked around Walmart to pick up some things. By the time I left out of there and got back home, I was hurting. However, I was able to take off my dressings today and shower and I feel so much better. The swelling in my body has gone down quite a bit. Yesterday was rough for me too. I was nauseated the entire day. Today it's pretty much gone. Thanks for asking!
