Hi everybody. I started my pre op liquid diet and I’m 4 days in. It’s not easy. I feel lightheaded and have no energy. I try to keep busy as much as possible. I drink protein shakes, jello sf, O% fat Greek yogurt and homemade soups.

I can eat puréed soups as well right? Like broccoli soup or pumpkin soup.

Why are all pre op diets so different? Some can eat lean meats or fish. Would it be really bad if I just ate some cooked tuna or chicken?

Btw my surgery date is Oct 12

did you by your shakes from your surgeon's office or did you just go to the store?

I bought in the GNC store. I will have my operation in Dubai as I live in the Middle East. We can’t get all the Bariatric items here.

I think a had protein shakes... check with your Dr if you can at least have protein powder... will help to fill you in. As you noted, try to keep yourself busy and sleep more... It is like every habit.. takes a while to adapt... best of luck in your bid day!

Almost forgot, there is also protein water..
