Pre op diet concerns !



Recommended Posts

My op is October 17th so a week today I should start my pre op diet .... The problem is I've had no information at all about the pre op diet and when I ring they tell me not to worry they leave it till the last minute.. I feel it's getting nearer and nearer and I still have no idea what I'm doing or what I'm meant to buy .. Has anyone else had this experience?

Usually the pre-op diet starts two weeks before surgery. I started slowly phasing into it so it wouldnt be as difficult to go from eating 3-4 meals of food to drinking all liquids.

I'm scheduled to have sleeve surgery on 21st October and I got a 3 week Optifast and salad vegetable diet pre-op. The main issue with this diet is low sugar, no fat, high Protein, high Vitamins. The idea is to put our body into ketosis to force us to rid our liver of the fat covering it and this causes the liver to shrink back so that when we have surgery, our stomach is more visible making the surgery easier.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
