I started my two week pre op diet I jumped off the track into sweeties and chocolate now I have surgery on May 7th worried about my surgery

And if I will fail at losing weight after surgery any advice??

The purpose of the pre-op liquid diet is too reduce the size of your liver, which lays over your stomach. Your surgeon needs for it to be out of the way and easier to negotiate around so that he does not nick it with his surgical tools.

Here is where the tough love comes in. If you are not ready to make the committment to follow your doctor's orders, then you are not ready for surgery. The first three days of the liquid diet are the hardest. After that, it's not so bad. If you can get past three days you can get past the seven that you have left. Good luck and be strong.

I am not sure what to liquid diet to do A Protein shake or B veg Soup what do think ?

Thank you for the tough love

I will tell you this, Your nex stomach will not allow you to abuse it without some consequence. I had 3 bites of pudding on wednesday(Not sugar free) and i was miserable. I was sweating, clamy and nauseated. You just learn what not to eat. You make the mistake and then you dont do it again and if you do its the same bad bad feeling. It sucks but that was the purpose. Sure, I miss food for my pleasure sensors sometimes but more often i am finding that the food I do eat is just keeping me healthy and even when i do eat something that i wouldnt usually eat i am completely dissatified. Its so strange.

I am surprised that your team did not spell that out for you. My plan called for four or five Protein shakes a day. here were my options:

4 1/2 cans of "high Protein Slim Fast daily

OR

5 1/2 packets of "No Sugar Added" Carnation Instant Breakfast

OR

5 individual cartons of Atkins Advantage daily

OR

4 1/2 bottles of "Glucose Controlled" Boost daily

I hope this helps.

There are a lot of commercially available shakes out there-- Premier Protein, Muscle Milk Light, and GNC Lean all come to mine. My personal favorite I make myself:

1 cup skim milk

1 5 oz container of Dannon light and fit greek yogurt (your choice of flavor)

handful of berries (optional)

Put it in the blender and it is a wonderful thick shake and over 20 gm of protein.

Good Luck.
