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

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
