    Hi there! I'm not an October surgery, but my surgery is scheduled for Nov. 9. I was questioning the pre-op diet. My physician group requires a 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Wondering if that is normal? Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Yes!! They even bring it to you in the hospital like a day or 2 after surgery...or in my case 4 days after. So dont overdo it and make yourself sick of it now because you're going to want to have some options for post op!! Believe me! Im 2 weeks post op and am struggling to find anything I like or can tolerate =/ According to myfitnesspal Ive consumed 1,100 calories since surgery on 9/12 ????

    @@4ukay1 @@MindyMe @@coastergirl @@Sherbear2 For those on liquid-only diets, do you know how many calories you're having per day? I have been meaning to download an app to start tracking that but haven't done it yet.

    Are you on a drinking schedule or just whenever you're hungry?

    Mine is 5 shakes a day but a specific brand (Bariatric Fusion) made with fat free milk. It also says not to go lower than 800 calories a day. I can also have 3 Snacks of broth, sf Popsicles, sf Jello or 1/2 cup watermelon. I start 10/4 so not sure how it will be but expecting the worst.
