Nervous about 2 week pre-op liquid diet

[Gundy 139]

My last experience with a liquid diet was the pre colonoscopy liquid diet. I’ll never forget projectile vomiting at 10pm. I understand that the pre-surgery liquid diet encourages Protein, but it also lasts much longer.

Any reassurance? A reality check? Thoughts???

It's not that big a deal for most folks. Just get a variety of Protein Shakes and rotate through, they will fill you up. Just think of this as kicking off your weight loss a couple weeks early.

I feel like my diet pre and post op are very strict.

PreOp and up to 7 weeks after my surgeon will not allow me to have any solid food.

Does anybody else have a diet this strict?

· 2 weeks preop diet: Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids only

· 2 weeks post op diet: Protein shakes and clear liquids only

· 3 & 4 weeks postop: I can add in creamy liquids

· 5 & 6 weeks postop: I can add in pureed foods

· 7+ weeks: I can slowly integrate solid foods.

Must have his reasons, sounds strict but I'm sure he knows what worked best in his practice and it may be in your best interest, after all. You will certainly be well'--healed for each stage.[emoji106][emoji14]

Your surgeon seems ultra conservative. By week 4 post op I will be introducing solid food. Each plan and surgeon is different also my practice only has 2 days of Clear Liquids prior to that it is starch free but you do what your surgeon tells you
