Surgery Nov. 10th. Question about liquid diet.

[sleevednole 9]

Hey all,

I'm scheduled to be sleeved Nov. 10th. How long before surgery did you start your liquid diet? My nutrionalist said 2 weeks. Protien shakes and a lean cuisine meal at dinner if I choose or just protien shakes. I did Optifast for 18 weeks of my year diet required by my insurance. My surgeon said 7 to 10 days on the liquid diet. Just wanted to see what others were told or recommend. Thanks and good luck to everyone. ...it's getting close. If anyone is looking for a surgery buddy I could use one. Would be nice to chat by email or even text if anyone is nervous as me. Strength in numbers right?

I started Monday for a sleeve date of Oct 27th. 2 shakes a day and then a dinner of Protien and veggie all the way through the 2 weeks.

I'm also getting sleeved on 11/10! I have a two week "liquid" diet prior to surgery. I'm supposed to replace all meals with a Protein shake, but I can also have really thinned out oatmeal and cream of wheat, strained 98% fat free cream based Soups, sugar free applesauce, sugar free pudding and sugar free popsicles. Bad thing is I have to start the last day of a trip I'm going on in a week and a half! That should be fun!!

My surgery date is 11/10 also! I just found out yesterday at my last pre-op appointment.

I'm so excited and nervous...but more excited to begin this journey.

I start my liquid diet on 10/28, it is roughly a 2 week diet. All high Protein drinks, sugar

free Popsicles, sugar free Jello...an occasional salad with light vinaigrette...those sorts

of things.

I'm on Facebook if you'd like to connect there! Let me know.

I will be sleeved on October 28th. I started my pre surgery diet today. I need to eat 4 oz of meat, salad veggies, sugar free, caffeine free, and carbonation free, a few Protein Shakes per day. I'm also allowed low fat dressing, low fat cheese, and eggs.

No-one all liquid for me, just high Protein and veggies for 2 weeks before, mostly liquids the day before and nothing after 5pm the day before surgery
