Today is the day I start my 2 weeks of liquid pre-op diet! I decided to go with Bariatric Advantage because of the higher Protein level. I have to have 3 Protein shakes a day, and I can 3 Snacks i.e. sugar free Jello, sugar free poosicle, crystal light, and propel.

What did you guys do to make this work easier and succeed in your pre-op diet?

Sounds good. Seems every diet is a bit different here from what I read. I start my pre op diet next Monday, and I pre bought my food at my nutrition class. Here is my daily intake for 7 days.

Hot chocolate with coffee mixed

oatmeal for Breakfast

Protein bar snack

Chili pack Soup

Rice and chicken soup pack

I have two more soup Snacks left for the day if I need them they said. So basically 6 to 7 small meals a day.

Followed it to a T . Because this is the begining of a journey that ended the battle I admited I could not win on my own.. And my Dr said FAT LIVER you lose I will close you right back up..... And no way could I face my wonderful supportive husband with yet one more weight loss fiasco............You gotta want it , more then you want the little party in your mouth .

Mayasgram, loved your " little party in your mouth " LOL that's a great one!

i am day two out of surgery. did bariatric advantage as well.... your surgeons diet was the same as mine..... there are so many different pre op diets out there..

i had to tell myself "its just food" and the truth is, the diet gets easier after day 2 or 3. hang in there!

Like previously stated, follow your Dr's preop to a t. Just a few weeks ago a woman who lost 15-20 pre surgery was closed back up because she chose to do her own diet and didn't follow the liver shrink diet and her liver was still too large.

I am going to have to use that as a mantra: FAT liver and the dr will close me up." thank you for the tip...no more parties in my mouth.

Thank you! What worked best for you to avoid hunger between shakes?
