Mimi52 103 Posted October 4, 2016 My BMI was 38 on day of surgery. Had to do 10 day pre-op diet. Not going to tell you it isn't hard but you will get thru it. Just keep reminding yourself why you are doing it! Good luck Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brenda Sherwood 64 Posted October 11, 2016 Just started today. Going to Dr Garcia next week. I did it in May for 5 days before finding out I was denied by insurance and it wasnt that bad. My local doctors diet was much more strict than garcias in that it was clear liquid only and one small salad with no dressing a day. Garcia allows protien shake and some veggies/lean meat Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They told me the same diet but because I have a fatty liver I am going to do only Protein shakes for a week and Clear liquids the day before.

xenaw71 6 Posted October 11, 2016 Kim I'm having mine in Mexico too. Same BMI. Working now on changing my eating habits, don't know why it's so hard in my mid 40's Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vanzimme 7 Posted October 11, 2016 What brand of shakes are people using that taste decent for their pre-op? I am using Premier Protein since it has 30gm of Protein and is low in calories and sugar. Looking to see if there are better options out there. I get sleeved in November and start my liquid pre-op diet for 10 days on 10/31 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted October 11, 2016 @@vanzimme I'm required to use Bariatric fusion (protein powder) with low-fat milk. They're actually very good. I have been adding some sugar free flavorings or PB2 to them to change things up a bit - but I am on day 8 and still tolerating them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mnicole 17 Posted October 12, 2016 My bmi is 39.5, I had to do 5 days high Protein, less than 30g of carbs and the day before surgery (today) Clear liquids only. But my liver measures in at 14 non fatty, so that may be why'd don't have to do an extensive diet Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
