I start my liquid pre-op diet on Monday, but my plan is to drink tons of Water whenever I feel "starving" and it's not time for another Protein Shake. Hopefully that will work. :-)

Why are you hungry? Your liquid diet can consist of fresh green salads, yoghurt, oats, skim milk & an egg. The Soup can also contain 1pc of chicken or fish, green veggies, spinach, etc - I just switched off from my usual OD'ing and actually feeling good about it! :)

Throw the ready made shakes out - you are just supporting another parallel commercial industry!

I'm pretty sure I can only have liquids 100% fruit juice, yogurt, jell-o and Protein Shakes no greens or eggs.. I'm going to call tomorrow but today they are not in the office.

I did get paper work but can not find it! Which is totally unlike me and is what I used when grocery shopping.

Protein Shakes shouldn't be keeping you hungry! You want to stay strictly liquid then make your own chicken Soup at home. Don't use the ready stocks - cut up a few pcs of chicken on the bone, add whatever else you want in it for flavour (i add onions, green Beans, carrots salt n pepper) and then consume only the liquid.

I just do 2 bowls of this everyday - about 300-350ml each for lunch n dinner - no hunger pangs ....4th day running now! Breakfast is a cup of tea followed by oats cooked in milk or half boiled runny eggs.< /p>

<p>My surgery is set for 1/15/14!! So excited!</p>

I am the 15 too. Just had my EGD done this morning. My stomach and throat are a little sensitive but feeling ok.

I start my pre-op diet today but I'm allowed a lean meat, veggies, & low glycemic carb with dinner. shakes for breakfast and lunch and bars for Snacks. My stomach is not up for anything at the moment though.

my preop diet doesn't include any of that stuff...only the shakes, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles and one cup of low sodium broth a day.

What kind of shakes are you using? Do they contain enough Protein?

The nutritionist suggested Carnation Instant breakfast with simply smart milk. I guess they suggest that bc it's cheap.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
