I've been approved and scheduled for surgery for May 16th. It's really happening....anyhow, I don't have my preop appointment till April 20th and I was just wondering what you did for a liquid diet. They told me that I have to be on a 5 day liquid diet, which sort of bums me out a little because my son's birthday party is the Saturday before surgery so I'll be crabby and miserable from not eating...but I have to do it. What did your doctor tell you to do as far as a liquid diet. It has to be more than Slimfast, chicken broth and Water, right?

Any inside tips would be appreciated.

Congrats on your date!

Your doctor will give you more clarification as to what's allowed on the liquid diet. I was able to drink Protein Shakes, broth, Water, creamy Soups, and I think that's about it.

I was able to do 3 protein shakes a day and i lean cuisine or smart one a day... good luck and congrats on your date!!!! YAY!!!

I didn't have a pre-op diet. They just wanted me to try and lose some weight before surgery, No gain or no surgery. I lost 18 pounds. Best of Luck to you!!!
