I'm so excited! I just have to keep telling myself I can make it through preop diet 2 wks liquids! Did any one else had to go through postop 1 wk clear liquids, 5-6 full liquids and then 2 wks pureed?

We share the same day. I pick up my liquid diet on Friday. I did my ekg, chest xray and blood work yesterday. My psych evaluation is today. My one week diet starts Monday June 18th . You can do this. The benefits will be so worth it in the end.

I am excited 2 meet my new body .

My postop diet progressed a little faster than yours; 1wk clears, 1wk full liquids, 1wk puree, 1wk semi-solids, then introduction of solids at 4-6 weeks. I'm in the puree stage at the moment. If I ever see another jar of baby food it'll be too soon.

Before my surgery, I have to drink the Bariatric Advantage for one week. After its the 7 week diet. Im in the progress of making a list of things ....I need .

Before surgery, I mentioned to my nutritionist all the various 1,2, and more week liquid diets I've noticed that people are on pre-surgery. She said that of course every doctor is different, but it didn't seem very healthy to her to only be consumuing liquids so far in advance of surgery - it's not necessary to shrink your liver (the point of the liquid diet), all that's required to do that is high Protein content. Her recommendation was to eat protein, cut out soda, alcohol, etc. The surgeon told me after surgery that I'd done a fabulous job shrinking my liver prior to surgery.

So, everyone's mileage may vary, but we should always do what what our surgeon/nutritionist recommends. Then if something goes wrong, it's not my fault!
