Get plenty of rest and liquids and Vitamins... Enchilada helps battle colds and prevent them as well. Hope you're recovered by surgery date! Good luck!


Thank you! Yeah, getting lots of fluids, and have started on my bariatric Vitamins. First to see if I can tolerate them before I order more, and to try and get better.

Meryline I'm dealing with the same issue. My doc said to get on antibiotics and a z Pak to get the chest cold done.

Enchiladas helps colds? Soup or actual?

If I eat some vegetables will it cause a problem with me having surgery on Monday




One of the reasons for this diet is to help shrink your stomach and liver since one sits on top of the other for a laparoscopic procedure. If your liver gets nicked it can be bad and cause a longer surgery, making them have you under general anesthesia for a longer period of time, which is not good.
I know it's hard but you have to stick with the liquids! Also it gives you willpower for after surgery being that you will be on a stricter diet for more than this time that you've been on the liquid diet. Try sugar-free popsicles to switch it up too.

      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.
