What did your pre-op diet consist of?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I am having my gastric bypass surgery on Tuesday December 18th and I have been on a 2 week Medi Fast shake liquid diet. I know the purpose of all this is to shrink my liver. What kind of diets did you have pre-op? I know I only have 2 days left but I physically can not have another shake. I feel like I am going to throw up. I already lost like 10 pounds on this diet. I would rather have like clear broth my last 2 days these shakes are making me sick 😝😝

Starting weight- 304

Current weight-287 🤗

They;re all so different. Mine was 2 weeks liquids (any kind of non-sweetened liquid). So, Protein Shakes (3-6/day - any brand with at least 20g protein), nonfat milk, tea, Water, broth, sugar free popsicles, strained low fat Soups (which I never had because that just feels like broth). And I had a Protein goal that I needed to hit (70g/day).

I am currently on my pre-op diet, which consists of five Protein Shakes per day which are specially formulated for the surgery, as well as a small amount of Protein per day and up to 400 to 500 G of select vegetables, no oils. My pre-op diet is for the entire month before the surgery although I hear some people do not have to have any kind of diet whatsoever in comparison. My current weight is somewhere around 420 lb so that may have something to do with it? It also could be that here in Finland they just require a very long pre-op diet, I am not sure.

I had 15 days of 2 Atkins shakes, 1 Advanced Recovery shake, and 1 Atkins/Healthy Choice meal per day. On the 16th day I had nothing but Water.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
