Pre op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Hi There. I am on my pre op diet also except mines consist of low carb diet w/less than 20 grams of carb. I bought the Protein Premeir drinks recommended by my nutritionist they only have 5 grams of carb and low in fat 160 calories and most of they taste pretty good. I hope this helps and Good Luck on your journey!!

For my pre op diet, I used slim fast high Protein Shakes from Walmart, along with a few Premier Protein, but I saved most of them for post op. Both were low in carbs.

Good luck! So far, I thought the pre op stage was the hardest!

My doc is only making me do a 10 day liquid diet, and he says it's becuase of the diet we are restricted to. We are restricted to only 3 shake choices for the liver shrink- bariatric fusion- bipro or wegmans. Bipro or wegmans brand you have to add 5g of Fiber too, and bipro is perfect for people like me who can't do aspartame or sucralose. We are allowed as much sugar fee Jello, fat free broth, and sugar free drinks as we want, but are limited to one cup of caffeine a day, and none the day before surgery. We are also only allowed one 1/2 cup of nonstarchy veggies daily, so I will crunch on some carrots or toss them in broth to make Soup.

Sorry for the long post, just trying to help.

I just started the two week pre op liquid diet 3 days ago and what I can only eat/drink are high in carbs. Does anyone know how to keep the carbs down?


I do drink the Premier Protein shakes, which I really love the caramel ones the best. However I spoke to my bariatric coordinator and she says they are not concerned with the carb intake just stay on the recommended liquid plan. I did make homemade cream Soup (low carb) and that's helped me lose a few pounds so far.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
