I have already began incorporating the pre-op liquid diet into my routine a week earlier than required, just so I could have an easier transition to the full week next week.

My surgery is scheduled on July 29th!

My surgeon does not require a pre-op diet however I would like to know what yours consists of because I might do it anyway.

Thanks

My Doc instructed me to do 7 days of liquids. My plan is to do 7 days of HMR shakes (5/day) and 3 days of Clear Liquids right before the surgery. I'm scheduled for Aug 1st.

My surgery is July 23rd! I start my 10 day liquid diet on Saturday! I am able to have 4 Protein Shakes a day and sugar free Jello and broth plus lots of Water including crystal light. I have been mentally preparing for this for the last 3 weeks so I think I'll be ok. I think the hardest part will be getting in the water; I've always struggled with that but I know it will be required after surgery! Good luck all!

My doctor only requires a one week liquid diet prior to surgery. This week I started incorporating Protein Shakes for breakfast and supper, but eating a small healthy lunch. I've been drinking Water with my sugar-free flavors. Next week, my diet will consist of 2-3 Protein shakes a day (I'm using Syntrax Matrix), broth, sugar-free popsicles/pudding/jello, fat free milk. I will switch to Decaf coffee and tea with artificial sweeteners, neither is that big of a change for me. I will have the liquid only diet the day before my surgery. I have my pre-op appt with my surgeon on July 17th, I also attend my required nutrition class that morning. I am so ready for this!! Good luck to all!!

Has your doctor required you to do a pre-op diet also ?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
