What did you eat/drink in your pre diet?

What did you eat/drink in your pre diet?

I was on optifast, for 6 week before surgery :-)

I was wondering the same thing. im in NY and haven't received a date yet since I just started,

I haven't gotten my date yet either I just want to be prepared. What is optifast?

16 days preop diet consisting of 3 high protein shakes and leafy green veggies. Optifast was NOT on my approved list of shakes. It has more sugar than protein. I used Syntrax Matrix and Nectar, Unjury, Premier Protein, Muscle Milk and Raw Protein products. If your surgeon doesn't give you specific instructions, read labels and look for products with at least 20g protein and less than 5g carb.

I will have 1 week of Protein shakes and Water or crystal lite or sugar free popsicles. It's winter, so not so interested in making popsicles. But I bought some pretty yummy Protein powder from Syntrax Nectar- The Cookies n Cream and the fuzzy Navel are super duper!

Everyone is told different things, like i said I had optifast protien shakes for 6 weeks before surgery and I have had not one problem with my protien before or since the surgery , so I think you should just follow the advice given by your surgen as you will find out on here everyone has an opinion and everyone thinks they are right :-)

Yup! Your surgeon will give you the instructions they want you to follow prior to surgery. There will be no guessing. They will make sure you understand the instructions.

The two weeks before surgery my diet consisted of protein shakes and soup broths. I was also allowed one protein bar a day, but i didn't really like them so i didn't bother.

I am drinking Ensure Active three times a day, two to three sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, tomato Soup, low fat cream of chicken soup, low fat broccoli cheese soup, dannon light and fit vanilla yogurt, sugar free pudding, and occasionally low sodium vegetable broth or chicken broth...the Soups, yogurts, and puddings can only be one of them two to three times a day...also 60-80 oz of Water. I am on a two week preop diet and not allowed solids

I got my date and did my pre-op clearance today i was instructed to buy a rice protein powder or try the following

Glucerna shake or Glucerna hunger smart

Boost high protein or boost glucose control

Ensure muscle health

Slim fast optima

Carnation instant breakfast essentials no sugar added

Or the homemade rice protein shake

I agree with jessiegirl30 your surgeon will advise you on what's best for your needs some of us have issues that need to be addressed b4 surgery so some diets b4 are different. March 30th nervous and excited

Today is day 1 of my 2 week pre-op diet. I have to complete 2 weeks of 3 powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes daily and 3 high protein, low calorie, low sugar, low carb meals. They gave me a list of item that I can eat.

It's not as bad as I was expecting and it's all for a good reason.

I'm on mine now and it's a week of clear liquids. No protein shakes or anything like that. Just clear liquids.

My preop starts next Wednesday, so Feb 4. I will be on a low carb/high protein, for 2 weeks.

14 day pre op includes 5 protein shakes( I use Syntrax nectar) mixed with unsweetened almond milk broth water powerade zero sf jello sf ice pop cup spinach with two tsp fat free dressing
