How much did you lose? I have to find my papers with information that was given to me to see what the "liquids" consisted of, although I don't think it was listed. I notice some people were allowed yogurt during this phase. Anywho, how much did you lose and what was allowed?

liquid diet consist of anything liquid substances that are clear or see through. Like apple sauce, chicken broth and etc...

The main goal of the liquid Pre-op diet is to shrink the liver as much as possible in order to be able to maneuver it around easily so it does not get in the way during surgery... this increases the overall success rate and decreases the overall duration of surgery...

Some Dr. recommend 3-7 days of Pre-opt diet

Hope this helps

I was on the pre-op diet for 2 days only and lost 7 pounds. I was having broth, water, crystal light, and also have the Nectar protein Fuzzy Navel. The fuzzy navel made me break out and I couldn't take it anymore. I switched to the strawberry kiwi. I was very hungry, so I just drank as much as I could. But anyway, hope this helps.

I don't know how much I lost...I didn't pay attention to how much I weighed at the hospital. During my three days, I ate broth, yogurt, apple juice, that kind of thing. I actually (hate to admit this) only ended up doing it two days b/c I thought I was supposed to be on the Protein shakes, so was drinking those on my first day.

My surgeon said my liver was an ok size -- I made a point to ask b/c I was nervous about it, but I think it is mostly clear things. Yogurt to the best of my knowledge (at least with my surgeon) is allowed.

I bought some broth. I have to give that a try. I am going to try and do a one day liquid diet every week until I can try and build up.

Was the fuzzy navel (giggles) protein clear? Is it clear liquids or liquids/liquid like, because I know I can't see through any apple cider or yogurt lol. Is it yes to proteins shakes? I know every doctor is different on their guidelines.

Ugh, I always get this section and the general section confused. Lol.

It was allowed on my pre-op stage and the 2 week clear liquid stage after surgery. It had 23 grams of protein. I got a rash and was allergic to it, so I had to try a different one. Don't worry, you will do just fine. Just do what your doctor tells you to do.

Well I ask because I want to lose some now. My surgery is in July.
