I had no restrictions until the day before. Then only Clear liquids. Very big variations in what seems to be recommended

I have surgery on 28 April and am on the pre-op diet. I get 4 Protein shakes, two Protein Bars, one banana or cup of skim milk per day, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles, clear broth.

There does seem to be variations with the pre-op diet.

A little thing that helped me a ton what adding some spicy heat to the chicken broth, like chili powder and garlic. It made me feel fuller almost like I had a regular Soup. I still did that when I drink broth for something

I start my real pre op diet next week. The reason it varies from person to person mainly depends on BMI. People who aren't as overweight don't need it as long. My doc suggested a 1200 calorie diet from day 1 at his office 3 months ago and is having me do 10 day full liquid. My BMI is 46 I believe. Bigger people have bigger livers that have to shrink for surgery and that is done by liquid diet.

I am on a 5 day liquid diet starting tomorrow (thursday). I bought Jello, pudding, sugar free popsicles, regular gatorade and chicken broth. Anything else I'm missing? I'm really nervous to start it tomorrow. My surgery is also 4/26!! ????

My BMI was about that. Actually exactly 46. still no pre op diet and no trouble. There are patients larger & smaller where I go, they do not use the pre op diet for anyone. Hopefully, anyone willing to have surgery to help with weight loss has already learned to work with a sensible diet.

Hello!

My surgery is set for 4/26 and I literally just learned about this place I'm currently on my 2week Iiquid diet and I ate solid food. After starving all day at work, I came home and ate. Did you all really just drink Protein shakes for 2 weeks???

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes. I did.

3-4 Pure Protein (nice and thick....filling) or Premier Protein (thin) ready mix shakes were what I used mainly.

Spaced them out throughout the day......lots and lots of Water, coffee and Diet Dews were enjoyed during that time, too.

I figured there was no reason to deny myself my beloved Diet Mountain Dews leading up to surgery....my surgeon didn't care, either.

Those were the last of my Diet Mountain Dews. It's been six months and I don't miss them at all.....nor do I miss the 170 pounds that have melted away since then, either. :)

Post op I stuck with the thin Premier Protein due to it being thin and easy to get down.

I had a two week liquid diet- just Protein Shakes, sugar free Popsicles, Jello and broth. I stuck to it and didn't cheat due to fear. I was so worried my liver would not shrink enough and there could be the potential for complications from the fatty liver getting in the way of the surgery. So fear kept me on track.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
