Hi everyone, my surgery date is July 20th and so I'm on the pre-op liquid diet and literally starving. It's awful! I want to cheat so badly. Would cheating one time screw up my liver shrinking? I'm so hungry.

You can eat as many popsicles as you like.

Rather than "cheating", why not have what you are allowed.

Are you allowed sugar free Popsicles? Crystal light? An extra Protein shake?

What are your guidelines?

So the point is you are going to lose weight with this diet and you will shrink your liver. You really need to stay strong and stick to it, the surgeon can cancel the surgery if he feels you didnt stick to the guidelines. Its for your safety anyways, to make sure your liver doesnt get damaged by being in the way! I wish you luck. Wait how long is your preop diet for??

Michilingi congrats on your date! I'm not really gonna cheat. Last night I was just in a bad state. Today was easier. I was even able to exercise. My guidelines were really brief. Basically 3 carnation shakes, sugar free Jello (I'm eating vegan Jello because I couldn't do hoofs), 1 low sugar yogurt or sugar free pudding a day, broth once a day ( I'm having homemade veggie broth because I'm a vegetarian), Water, crystal light, 1 serving of fruit, sugar free Popsicles. It didn't say you couldn't have them but I saw online most people's diets said you can have sugar free fudgicles so last night I got those and feel better. I can't take anymore fruity taste. I know I can do this and it will be worth it not wow were the first two days hard.

Do you have a similar pre-op diet?

Yes I do have a similar pre op.

I can have 2 serving of a Protein [3oz chicken, low fat yogurt, wtc)

2 servings of vegtables (1 cup cook3d or 2 cups raw)

Plenty of fluids/broth/etc

Also 3-4 Protein Shakes that are 5grams of carbs or fewer.

I wonder why they limit your brother intake. I hate protein shakes so my nut and I decided I can mix the unflavored protein with broth. I can have the sugar free pops or drinks but I hate the aftertaste. So I'm just going to do my hint Water.< /p>

Oh how I wish I could have pudding and fruit!! Stay strong! It's tough, I am on day 9 of preop liquid diet with 5 days until surgery. I have 4 1/2 Protein shakes a day, 2 sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello, and broth at times (but I haven't been hungry so much). I see food and I get hungry but I want solid food! Then again, I am almost there!! So hang in there!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
