Pre op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Hi There. I am on my pre op diet also except mines consist of low carb diet w/less than 20 grams of carb. I bought the Protein Premeir drinks recommended by my nutritionist they only have 5 grams of carb and low in fat 160 calories and most of they taste pretty good. I hope this helps and Good Luck on your journey!!

For my pre op diet, I used slim fast high Protein Shakes from Walmart, along with a few Premier Protein, but I saved most of them for post op. Both were low in carbs.

Good luck! So far, I thought the pre op stage was the hardest!

My doc is only making me do a 10 day liquid diet, and he says it's becuase of the diet we are restricted to. We are restricted to only 3 shake choices for the liver shrink- bariatric fusion- bipro or wegmans. Bipro or wegmans brand you have to add 5g of Fiber too, and bipro is perfect for people like me who can't do aspartame or sucralose. We are allowed as much sugar fee Jello, fat free broth, and sugar free drinks as we want, but are limited to one cup of caffeine a day, and none the day before surgery. We are also only allowed one 1/2 cup of nonstarchy veggies daily, so I will crunch on some carrots or toss them in broth to make Soup.

Sorry for the long post, just trying to help.

I just started the two week pre op liquid diet 3 days ago and what I can only eat/drink are high in carbs. Does anyone know how to keep the carbs down?


I do drink the Premier Protein shakes, which I really love the caramel ones the best. However I spoke to my bariatric coordinator and she says they are not concerned with the carb intake just stay on the recommended liquid plan. I did make homemade cream Soup (low carb) and that's helped me lose a few pounds so far.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
