2 week clear liquid diet

[Cheree 2]

I see a lot of people doing this 2 wk clear liquid diet. I am going thru Kaiser and havent been told I need to do this. Anyone else going thru Kaiser? Were you told you needed to do this?

Every program is different. I had to watch what I ate, but only had to do the clear liquid diet the day before surgery.

Howdy! I start my 2 week 'liquid diet' on Tuesday - scheduled for surgery Sept 3rd. Its not really a liquid diet to me. It is like 3 Protein and fruit shakes per day, yogurt and fruit for lunch...and 4oz of meat & a 1/2 of potato for dinner. Like I said, not all liquid. I think it does vary from Doctor to Doctor.

Yeah all different. Mine is 10 days, 9 days is 3 Protein Shakes a day, 2 small meals consisting of a total of 5oz of lean Protein, 2C of salad and 1C of cooked veggies. 1 day Clear Liquids. Day one for me and so far great! Finishing today at 890 calories, 117g of protein and 92oz of Water and 1 piece of gum :-)

Surgery on 9/3 and i start my 2 week diet on Tuesday, 4 shakes a day, broth, Jello and sugar free Popsicles only. This is going to be rough...

I should have my surgery date in a couple weeks, I've already started to try to practice my changes, and Yes I'm right there with u - it's gonna be rough, I'm more anxious about keeping up with the diet restrictions then the surgery

I started my pre-op diet last Tuesday. I have to have no more than 30 grams of carbs and at least 90 grams of Protein per day. I have been faithful to the plan and have written down every bite I have put in my mouth. I have not been good about my Water, I'll confess. When I weighed this morning after 5 days, I've only lost 2 lbs. is this okay? I'm scared to death the doc won't be able to do the surgery because of fatty liver!

I'm on day 11 of the same diet. Day 3 was the worst but it does get better. I do have hunger occasionally but some more sugar-free drink mix or Jello takes care of it. broth does too but I have to limit broth because it makes be retain Fluid.

Thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to lock myself in a room away from people on day 3, lol. Have you lost a lot on it? I'm thinking its got to be some significant pounds with so few calories

I'm on the same pre-op diet. Been doing it for 3 weeks now. One more week to go then Clear liquids the day before. I lost about 7 lbs the first week. But then gained and lost 3 lbs twice the next two weeks. Even though I was following the rule. It was frustrating. This weekend I was desperate for the scale to drop so I made a large batch of vegi Soup from the list of vegi's my NUT gave me and grilled some chicken so i'd still get my Protein in and I ate that for two days and this morning I got on the scale and I didn't gain those three back. I was actually down 2 lbs. I'm going to continue the vegi Soup with lunch and probably dinner for this week too (I made way to much) and hopefully I will continue to see the scale go down.

Good luck wih your pre-op. I hope the scale moves for you.
