Clear liquids 2 days prior to operation



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone ... my surgery is 3 days away...

tomorrow starts my clear liquid diet for 2 days. No Protein Shakes. No solid foods. Just Water, apple juice, broth, Jello. I’m so excited for the surgery, but scared of getting through the next 2 days.

Any advice?

Any experience with this? How hungry did you get?

Eyes on the prize! Remember this is temporary.

Lots of people have shared their liquid-only diet experiences here. When you need a boost, come back here & read how others have dealt with it.

Good luck! You are not alone.

I'm a wimp, but I took the day off work when I was on only clears and no shakes, but it was only one day. I found that the less I moved around the less calories I needed, and I felt better. I took naps. Drank clear veg broth. It went by fast, and I was less hungry than during the liver shrinking diet.

You can have clear Protein Drinks. I have a powder that mixes with Water and tastes much better than the Isopure clear or bottled clear Protein. Tuesday and today are Clear Liquids and in supposed to drink 3. Maaaay have cheated with wine as a clear liquid but not today cause anesthesia and all that

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
