My surgeon is not requiring the 2 week pre-op diet. I have my pre-op visit on August 10th and my surgery on the 12th. I was told that on the 11th I needed to just be on liquids all day.

Have any of you NOT been required to do the 2 week diet?

Also with the Protein shakes we have to drink after, can we pick our own Protein shake as opposed to the ones they want us to make with the powder? I've tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Bari but hated them. I was told muscle milk lights aren't so bad so I wanted to buy one of those to try. What have you guys been drinking?

It might not be advised but very few if any don't have there pig-out time before surgery. It is almost a given. My only problem is figuring out and writing down the most important foods that I need to have so I get them in

w we have the same doctor call him i am on a 2 week diet before surgury mines on aug 9

I just started my 2 week before surgury mines on the 9th i hate prottein shakes it worried me to death yesterday i went to GNC i said what can i do i dont like the way they smell are after taste she said let me make you a sample of this IT IS AMPLIFY Cookies AND CREAM OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT. I CANT BELIEVE THIS SHE SAID CHOCALATE MINT IS GREAT TO. MY DAUGHTER GOT ANOTHER ONE ON SALE IT WAS YUK TRY THIS BELIEVE ME IF I LIKE IT YOU WILL LET ME KNOW astromom2005@aol.com this is my doctor where do yuou live?

I'm in Atlanta. I emailed my nutritionist today asking about the Protein shakes and she still said just the two kinds that I just can't stand. If I have to suck it up and drink it I will. Eventually I think I can switch to a different one but for postop they want a certain kid. I am going to have to find that one though!!! Thanks!
