I have a surgery date! Feb 12th! I want to start getting things together. I understand that 2 weeks post-op the only food allowed is clear liquids and water. Can anyone reccomend a decent tasting clear liquid?

While on the subject...what do you think is the best tasting liquid whey protein? I plan on mixing mine with Almond Milk. My surgeon says to use liquid protein and water only for 10 days pre-op! another surgeon in the same practice says use liquid protein and water only 2 days pre-op and his patients do just as well. I think 10 days is obsessive?

Also, my surgeon says crush pills for one year, the other surgeon says with gastric sleeve no reason to crush meds at all. They are so opposite!

So what are the best tasting clean and full protein drinks?

Thanks!

You might want to talk to your dietician again. I was allowed things like protein shakes, cream soups, pudding... on day 3. As tolerable, of course. My clear liquids were only day 2. Of course, I'm seeing from this forum that every Surgeon/Dietician has a different diet plan for their patients.

i like the Bariwise fruit drinks and isopure zero carb rtd for clear liquid protein, you can get Bariwise at bariatricchoice.com and they have a sample box you can order to try all the different flavors..

At my clinic everyone has to do a 2wk. pre op diet- Unjury and some other things like sf pudding, sf jello, fresh veggies.
