Pre-op LIQUID DIET HELP



Recommended Posts

So, FINALLY after dealing with the stupid EXPLETIVE EXPLETIVE weight loss center in Beverly Hills its finally over and my wife and I got a surgery date for August 26th at St Josephs instead. YAY!!!! I started my pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks!!! First day is pretty good especially since I had my last big meal last night. J My last meal of choice…. You guessed it, im in the west coast so I went with In & Out (2 burgers). I have to say it tasted the best it has ever tasted.

Question about the liquid diet? Can I have and juices, coffee or tea? I am attending a party on Saturday and I was wondering if I can even have a couple of cocktails, or is this something where I can only have Water and the liquid shakes? ?? What do you guys think?

I was told no alcohol & no carbonated or caffeinated beverages.< /p>

Acceptable Clear Liquids are: decaffeinated tea and coffee, sugar free kool aid, sugar free Jello, sugar free/clear popsicles, clear broth and bouillon, crystal light, minute maid light, diet snapple and sugar free/ low sugar Protein supplements.< /p>

Hope this helps :)

NO ALCOHOL.

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver.

Alcohol is directly opposed to that. I would not be able to do any parties right about now.

Parties and alcohol will always be here.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
