I start my liquid diet tomorrow, 2days before my surgery, and Im not sure how to go about it. Since i have a set schedule while on my pre op diet do i stick with that schedule, but instead of eating food drink broth or something? And since i wont be eating food do i need more than two protein drinks during the day?

The body requires @ least60. Grams of protein it helps w/loss of hair &muscles

You should give your doc a call. We want to make sure ur doing everything he/she wants. Best Wishes

I agree with call your doc. My liquid diet was 4-5 shakes a day (bleh) plus clear, calorie free liquids ( water, SF jello, crystal light, broth) when I wanted them. BUT every surgeon is different.

Well i know what im supposed to be drinking, i was just trying to figure out how often, or how you guys scheduled it out.Thanks guys.

I did a shake for Breakfast lunch and dinner, if I got hungry (Ha! I was starving) I'd have an extra in the late morning and evening (the evening one was when I had the urge to snack usually). If you want to time it: breakfast 7:30, lunch-12:30, dinner 6:00-6:30. If I did a morning snack shake it was typically 10:30, If i did a night time shake it was usually 8:30 ish.
