My doc has ordered me on a 14 day high protein liquid diet. I'm to drink 4-5 special shakes a day and stay within 700-900 calories and 50 carbs. Then the day before surgery, which is the 15th day, only clear fluids, no orange or reds. So far I am 8 days in and feel near death.

I only have clear liquids the day before. Dec. 4 surgery ????

I am having Gastric bypass...maybe the sleeve is different.

Dec. 4????

I'm on day 8 of 14. Three protein shakes a day and two protein bars a day. Plus 64oz of fluids a day. Needless to say I pee every half hour. When making dinner for my family I do try a very small piece of meat. Today, I've made a large pit of meat sauce and meatballs. My stomach is screaming "give me one" but I'm doing ok so far. Yesterday was a grouchy day.

My 14 day preop diet is 3 meal replacement shakes a day with 3 zero calorie snacks. I had to do a lot of research to find shakes and vitamins that don't contain artificial sweeteners because I'm allergic. Anyone else have artificial sweetener allergies? In particular Splenda and sugar alcohols.

Anyone have gi upset from the shakes I'm on day two and my stomach is really upset

No pre-op diet here, just nothing after midnight the night before like most other types of surgeries.

I'm on Optifast. 5 shakes and 2 bars a day. Today is day one and my stomach is totally killing me. its that really terrible ache you get when you're really hungry and you start to feel nauseous. ugh...13 days to go.

They are making me very uncomfortable but I know why. I have a milk allergy. Nutritionist said to just keep going and my body will adjust. We will see. ...

The hunger pains will call down a little but not completely. Stick to it and the payout is amazing afterwards. I did 15 days without cheating at all. From that I know with out a doubt I can control whst goes into my body.

I've really set my mind to this. I'm not going to cheat. I really want this surgery to be a success and I know this is the first step to being on the right path. How much did you lose during those two weeks?

Whenever I get the hunger pains, I drink a glass of water or tea. That tends to subside them. Might want to give that a try. That is also another way of getting in you 64+oz. a day.

I got a gallon in yesterday and I'm going to try to do the same today. Hoping my body just needs time to adjust and that ill start to feel better soon

Today is day 4 of 14 all liquids. I get 4-5 shakes and two jellos a day.

I'm doing ok! It was really rough the second and third day... but I think I'm over the hump!

Good luck to everyone on this journey!

Today is day 6/14 for me. Yesterday was ROUGH. I mean really bad. Today is much better! Good luck to you
