Liquid diet

[sleevemylife 46]

My surgery date is Oct 13th & I thought I was gonna need to do the liquid diet the week before but I talked to my nutritionist yesterday and she told me only some surgeons require that but mine doesnt.. only the day before. Can someone give me some advice on what would be good to eat please. I want the process to be as smooth as possible. Thanks in advance!

What did your NUT say about what you should have the day before. You need to follow what they say, as everyone here will have been told different things by their own NUT.

Congratulations on your surgery date and speedy recovery!!

^{I was not given any special diet instructions either. So to play it safe the day before I stuck with Soup and stuff that was easy to digest}

My surgeon puts everyone on a two-week liquid diet pre-op.

Permissable items are certain low-carb Protein powders, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles (low-to-no calorie version) and some clear broth (which I've yet to try).

I would recommend Premier Protein chocolate shakes. I liked the flavor a lot.

My surgeon said only one day too. But I did it the other day just to see if I could do it and I was fine. I put bouillion cube in Water with some soul seasoning. I drank a slimfast shake for Breakfast and lunch. And I had sf Jello for a snack. I did not try the sf popicles but that sounds good too. I would think Tomato Soup would be good too.

Yeah I was planning on doing the liquid diet a few days also. I'm from Texas, my surgeon is Dr.Reyes

What about you? That would be awesome if we actually have the same doctor but I'm not sure if any of yall are from down here

Every doctor is different. I had to do a 2 week liquid diet but totally cheated a bit the day before surgery. I traveled to TX and while driving around I saw a Chick Fill A and just had to try the infamous chicken and fries lol! But everything went swell for me, no complications
