All Drs are different. That's something you'll hear a lot around here.

My Dr requires 30 days of full liquids, yeah!!!

My doctor only required 1200 calorie diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery and FULL liquid diet day BEFORE surgery. . . they all have their own way

My surgeon did not put me on a pre-op diet....I just have to eat light a day before and NPO after midnight.....So yeah, all surgeons do it on a case by case basis, so follow your surgeons recommendations.

Who gave you the book? It's possible you need to be on liquids for a period post op and the doctor was giving you a sample food plan for when you move to solids.

I was on Clear Liquids with Protein Shakes 7 days, full liquids with Protein shakes 7 days, soft mushies 7 days, denser mushies 7 days, and back to solids after that.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
