Start my liver shrink diet next Tuesday. I see so many different doctors have types. What did yours look like?

I'm in California and my bariatrics surgeon is Brian Quebbemann and since he's a famous doctor he's been on doctor oz show and the dr's show also so he provides your food for you for 2 weeks before surgery and your food for 4 weeks after surgery! Your allowed to eat mushy foods that he gives you before surgery like oatmeal for Breakfast and you get unlimited shakes he gives you and your allowed Jello sugar free 0 calories and all that! My surgeon his company is called the New bariatrics program in Newport Beach California and they give all the food before and after and all the Vitamins come with it also! And since I have Medicare they cover the full surgery and all the food before and after surgery and also all the bariatrics Vitamins for ever you never stop getting the vitamins from them also! And I also get a 24 hour nurse around the clock to help me at the hospital and then she comes home with me and stays with me for 6 weeks after the surgery too !! If anyone has Medicare you should check into that and see if you guys can get that too !!

I didn't have one either. I just had to lose between 15 - 30lbs. I've lost 22lbs (should be 25 by next Wednesday which is surgery day). I am planning on going all liquids for the 3 days prior at my own choice to clear my colon.

I have a 10 day low fat, low sugar full liquid diet before my surgery. The day just before surgery is Clear Liquids only.

I'm on day 3 (end of day 3) of the preop and I'm starving. I have never gone this long without food. I have 4 Protein Shakes daily and 1 Protein Bar. And drinking a ton of Water, crystal lite, broth etc. I'm thinking about calling the office tomorrow and asking if there's anything else I can have maybe some lean chicken or anything. Can I fail the preop diet??? I am kinda joking but I still have the whole weekend and Monday to go. I'm so hungry it physically hurts [emoji53]

I am on day 4 and couldn't handle it, I have a sore throats and got no sleep last night. I had a cup of warm cream of chicken Soup. I hope that isn't major cheating but I felt like I was going to pass out on the Optifast alone. I tried calling my NUT but she was busy and hasn't called me back. Is this a major fail? Has this happened to anyone else on shakes or Optifast only 4 days in? ☹️
