For how long? That Clear liquids thing is usually only for the last day or two pre-op.

Wow. That is definitely no fun! Can you at least have clear Protein drinks like Isopure or Syntrax nectar?

That is truly extreme. Did they give you any scientific or medical reason why this is necessary?

To shrink the liver

Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using the BariatricPal App

But your liver will shrink by just putting your body into ketosis, which you do by consuming under 20 grams of carbs per day. Clear liquids is not a requirement for shrinking the liver. The VAST majority of us are able to drink low carb Protein shakes while on our pre-op liver-shrinking diet.

The quickest route to ketosis is to stay under 20... that's why 20 grams is the first stage of Atkins and then you gradually add carbs back. But every surgeon's pre and post-op plans are different. Best to stick to you surgeon's plan so if anything comes up, they will have a better idea of how to handle it.

@@jessjames Every Program has their own requirements and even some differ by patient in the same program. Consider yourself lucky - many have liquid only pre-op.

Oh believe me I am! Ha, I'll let you know how I get on

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
