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 :-)

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
