Savagegirl 97 Posted May 5, 2017 Every pre-op diet is so different. Mine is 10 days and I'm allowed 3 Protein Drinks, 2 cups broth, 1 cup thicker Soup like Tomato, 1 nf yogurt and 1 oatmeal packet per day plus clear fluids. I've lost 10-12 pounds in 8 days and do feel hungry and light headed but shrinking my liver is worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carlychloe2 106 Posted May 5, 2017 Its not about the weight loss during this liquid diet phase, its about shrinking your liver so the surgeon has easier access to your stomach. If it has not shrunk, they may get in there and not be able to do surgery, so I have been told.Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app 2 erica2185 and blondie66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sc09 95 Posted May 9, 2017 I had to do a 2 week diet and I surprised the [emoji90] out of myself and didn't cheat. Don't get me wrong it was hard especially when my family was in the next room eating pizza. But I used the Premier Protein shakes and the Syntrax Nectar shakes (peach and grape are my faves) and drank lots of broth. I put lemon pepper in the chicken and Italian seasoning in the beef. Had lots of sugar free Jello too. Just stick with it. It will go faster than you think. I cried the day before thinking I couldn't do it and I did. You got this!!! This is just a small snapshot in the larger picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashleyvk 0 Posted May 9, 2017 Thanks what on your list? I have 5 more days to go ugh lol.Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using BariatricPal mobile appPremier Protein Shakes 3 times daily and an 8 oz glass of fat free milk at lunch and dinner. I can also have sugar free Jello, popsicles, low sodium and low fat broth. I'm hungry all day so I can do a 4th shake until day 4. They said it gets easier by then.Sent from my SM-G928V using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
