I am inquiring as to how many of you had to do a liquid diet two weeks prior to surgery? My appt is feb 12 to see dr Irani and then I will know from there.

I haven't had surgery yet but the binder my hospital gave me and the nutritionist and surgeon both said I will have to do a 3 week very low calorie diet (VLCD) of 1,000 calories before surgery.

I do, but it"s because I am a band to sleeve revision. My dr does have a pre-op diet and then as you get closer it goes to liquid only for a few days prior to surgery.

I am on a two week pre op diet with protein shakes, broth, sugar free popsicles (2 per day), decaf coffee and sugar free jello.

I did a two week liquid pre-op diet. I had a higher starting weight, so they made me go the full two weeks. I found that while it was difficult initially, the longer I did it, the easier it got until near the end I was forcing myself to drink 3 shakes a day. I was allowed Bariatric Advantage shakes with a little fruit added in for flavor. My favorite was to make a vanilla shake with blueberry tea ice cubes and frozen blueberries.

One week pre op diet consisting of protein shakes, broth, cottage cheese, and egg whites.

I'm on day 1 right now of a 2 week liquid diet. It's tough considering I've allowed myself to indulge a little too much right beforehand. It is temporary though and I keep thinking how worth it it'll be in the end!!!

im on my second day:

5:09pmim on my second day of liquid diet. my surgery is thursday. i havent eaten much except i put a banana in a Protein drink yesterday and had a cup of tomato Soup today. i am wondering if these two things are ok to drink

I had to do 2 weeks full liquid. Had to strain cream soups. No fruit or anything I could chew. I had to do clear liquid the day before. I hate isopure. It was hard for me the whole time. Had to quit diet cokes. But I made it and got my sleeve. Almost ready to start purée.
