What have your doctors recommended as a pre operative diet the week before surgery?

My dr does the two week liquid diet. Bariatric advantage shakes, broth, sf popsicles and sf jello. That is it. Lol

I did not do a pre-op diet. Although I was instructed about a week before to lay off the carbs and do a shake for breakfast and lunch and then protein and veggies for dinner, and the day before surgery no greasy food, soft foods only.

I started my pre-op liquid diet on Thursday. My surgery date is Nov. 15th. Last night I didn't feel good at all I was really hungry. Today I am doing a little better. This is harder than I thought it would be. shakes make me a little nauseous so I am hoping I can convince myself that im consuming something so delicious that will make me healthy and thin...lol wish me luck!

Doc told me two weeks... but if I want to start now... a none fat liver is where you want to be when you go into surgery. I am going to need all the luck I can get... I dont even like soup!! Urgh.

My doc told me 5 day of liquid diet but I am doing 12 because I hear most people my weight have to do longer and I don't want any complications. I get nauseated with protein shakes as well. I agree the colder the better I have tried so many and I find I like muscle milk banana the best 25g of protein in each shake.

Hiya- My surgery date is November 15th and i have been on the Pre Op diet for 4 days now. I HAVE LOST 4KG ALREADY (Which is something like 8 pounds). My diet is:

1x Optifast shake

broth, Green Veg only, Tea with no sugar or milk and ONE small piece of lean Protein with dinner.

And of course lots and lots of water!

Im feeling really positive for once! The first day was definitely the hardest so far, but then i found out that i could snack on basically unlimited amounts of Cucumber/ Celery and that saved my hunger pains!

I would love for you all to get in touch with me if your surgery is around the same time, need support and to compare notes with you all!

P.S I dont know if this is relevant but i am 18yrs old from New Zealand

Thanks

Ash
