Hi everyone, I'm new to this platform. I'm scheduled Nov 13 and on Monday, October 30 I'm starting my 2 week preop diet. My nutritionist told me to have 5-6 premier shakes and 1 cup of veggies (no oil,or butter ). Was it the same for you guys? And also what did you guys packed for your post op surgery? What do i need to get ready ?

Hi Zoxie! Congrats on your surgery date!!! I'm still pre op but my diet will be 5 protein shakes and water that's it. One thing I've read on here is to take an extension cord for your charger and biotene for dry mouth and feminine products just in case.
Best of luck on your journey!!!

I could consume 800-850 calories in shakes total 80gr protein, plus any broth, crystal light, sf jello, sf popsicles. I drank ready-made Premier, ready-made Isopure, Jay Robb packets - dreamsicle is my fav, Syntax nectar.

Hospital - phone/charger, biotene spray, lip balm, slippers, robe, my own tea bags, hair brush, headband, and toiletries, and novel to read. I wore my same clothes home that I came in (leisure bra because it won't rub incisions.). My own pillow and lap quilt - was just to quell my nerves.

Hi Zoxie and Angy,

I am new to the forum and have surgery scheduled for 11/17. My preop diet will be clear liquids and protein shakes for two weeks. I am doing a trial run this weekend before my edg. I have a demanding schedule as I am sure most do, so I am also trying bariatric products I ordered from Bariatric Pal and Amazon. I can’t do whey protein, so I am doing Bariatric Choice liquid protein, Bariatric Advantage protein gelatin, Gene Pro flavorless protein, broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, apple juice, and water to keep my energy level up. I have also ordered B12 patches for preop to go along with multivitamin patches for post op. Naps help. I also read and saw on YouTube to take lip balm to the hospital. My hospital allows GasX strips or melts.

Good luck to all! I hope we find great success and an easy recovery.

Liquid diet was similar. Did not use anything I packed except deodorant, toothbrush, and toothpaste. Slept most of the time I was in the hospital.
