I am Scheduled for surgery on December 12 and have been on the pre op diet for two days now. Im just curious to know what everyones pre op diet was? My doctor gave me a list that said 3 protein shakes a day, ans then all of the fruit juice i can drink as long as no sugar added, all the broth i want, sugar free applesauce, pudding, and jello, and low fat cottage cheese and greek yogurt. I just want to know if that sounds like a normal pre op diet to anyone because i thought it would be just liquids and no fruitjuice. thank you

It all depends on the surgeon. My pre op diet is 3 Protein shakes and all the leafy greens I want, provided I use fat free dressing. I just use vinegar. Only 6 days left

Mine is 4 shakes and 2 Protein bars a day with no deviation allowed. They also have me on it for 3 weeks because my BMI is over 50.

Frankly, I'm annoyed because I feel like they are treating me like a child. They should allow some leeway as long as I maintain the calorie and nutrient goals.

It fits with the general culture of this practice to be inflexible and not patient friendly. I picked them because the surgeon is very well regarded and was recommended by other doctors. The quality of the surgeon is most important to me so I begrudgingly put up with the rest.

I'm on a 2 week liquid Protein diet that consists of 80-100 grams of protein and 800-1000 calories. Each Protein shake must be around 200 cal and very low sugar. Plenty of Water too. The sole purpose is to shrink the liver and loosen things up in the abdomen to make it easier for the surgeon and to get us ready for the 1st phase of the diet. Good luck everyone. My date is Dec. 12.

My 2 week pre-op diet is very similar to your except I can only have 2 Protein shakes and 1 can of hearty Soup. 1-2 sugar free Snacks (pudding, Jello, Popsicles) ff cottage cheese or ff yogurt. And I can have all the sugar free drinks I want.

I'm on day 2 and struggling. My SD is 12/13

live2ride - 12/13/16

Starting mine tomorrow! 2 protein drinks and one meal. Very low carb, sugar and fat. I get all the non starch veggies I want including some broth. Absolutely no fruit, juice and no alcohol. The meal consist of 3-6 Oz chicken, fish or pork tenderloin. 1/2 cup starch (potato, corn, peas) and unlimited non starch veggies.

i start my two week pre-op diet Friday-- all liquid (protein shakes, water; 900ish calories). day before surgery, all clear liquid. fun times.

Anyone start their bariatric Vitamins and minerals. If you buy them at Walgreens they are $30 and you take 4. This will cover all your requirements. There are 120 vitamins per bottle and it will last 30 days. They are called Optisource.

thankfully i just started back on my Adderall so it has really been curbing my appetite or else I would probably be about to kill someone at this point lol.

Diet sounds pretty similar to most. Every doctor has different requirements. In my practice there were several docs and all of them had a different pre-op diet!

The point is to shrink the liver and limiting added sugar will definitely do that. Natural sugar in the juices shouldn't hinder at all, it will only help keep your appetite in check.

My pre-op diet also included a serving of Metamucil daily. Sounds crazy, but it DID really help with appetite also. I'm back to doing that daily just to ward off the cravings.

Im december 12th as well and same diet

It depends on the doctor AND the patient. I'm doing just 3 Premiere Protein shakes and 3 eight ounce cups of Lactaid milk a day. And taking BariActiv. 6 days in and I'm AMAZED at the energy I have! I thought this would kill me and I'd be all lethargic and weak, but I still walk 2-3 miles and lift weights every day. I'm not saying it's easy, just not near as hard as it sounds.
