Hi Jenn!

I am a newbie here too, so there are many, many, people here much better suited to answer your question. That said, I believe once you get your actual date your Doctor will get you instructions for any liquid diet you need. (Not all of them require them and they vary quite a lot.) You can always call them to be sure.

Anyway, from one Newb to another, welcome! Keep chipping away at it!

I just want to say Welcome and congratulations. Well for me I don't have to start a pre-opt diet and my surgery is the 19 of March I just can't gain no more weight. I'm very excited right now!

Thank you Odia! Congratulations on your journey, I went through the process twice and gave up this time I’m going through with it so I’m excited to get a date 😊But good luck with you surgery and your journey.

Welcome to all of you!! Very exciting times 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yea, pre op AND post op diets vary greatly. As you progress and read more posts it may / will make you question the plan your surgeon has laid out for you. Especially when you’re still on liquids and someone who had surgery the same time as you is already eating, like EATING EATING! Lol!
Congratulations to all and good luck on your prospective journeys 👍🏻

If you're talking about the pre-op diet, it's the two weeks before your surgery date. I didn't have to do a liquid diet pre-op, just restricted to 1500 calories per day. Then of course post-op you do two weeks liquid diet right after surgery as well.

It depends on your doctor but a 2 week pre-op diet seems to be pretty common.

I'm having my surgery at The University of Vermont Medical Center, and their program requires a full liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I started it on March 12 and my surgery is on March 26th. I hope that helps.

      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.
