Pre-op Broth

I know Clear liquids can be boring. Look in the Hispanic food section for GOYA bouillon. They have Ham (Jamon) sort of like split pea or navy bean, Tomato cilantro and chicken with tomato. Helps change up the savory side.

Sounds good, I have another 8 days to go before surgery and am already getting tired of beef or chicken broth.< /p>

Is the 2 week liquid diet a mandatory thing only asking cause another person asked that question on another post thanx

[Dragonrider 9]

Actually I was on a modified for two weeks being able to eat one meal a day and the rest liquid. Then full liquid for two weeks. So yes for me it was mandatory

Yea my doctor says it's mandatory for all his patients I'm just hoping my insurance pays for the Meal Replacement suppliment

My surgeon required what is basically Adkins phase 1 (high-protein, extremely low carb) as a pre-op diet.

My doctor is requiring 2 weeks of Clear Liquids. I'm only on day 3 (hate to complain) but I just feel so drained already. How am I supposed to get through two weeks!!!

I too am on my 3 day of 2 shakes and a meal. I feel drained in the evening. Hope it gets better.

Where I go they do not require the 2 weeks. Just the two days before surgery. They require the you lose some weight through the whole process which I have been doing little by little.

One of my liquid pre-op options I enjoyed was the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup Protein powder. Don't forget about popsicles (sugar free, of course) and Jell-O and such. These were included in my pre-op liquids. The main reason for doing a liquid diet prior to surgery is to shrink your liver as much as possible to give the surgeon better access to your stomach; it's not so much about losing weight.
