How many protein shakes are you drinking?

Hi everyone. Currently in the pre-op liquid phase and for my doctor we are not allowed to have any kind of food. So in one day I usually have:

- 4 protein shakes

- 2 sugar free jellos

- lots of water

Was just wondering if anyone else has any tips or recommendations for anything else. I know there’s no specific diet you have to follow (that I know of) or any order but it’s a little unnerving sometimes, especially after always trying to follow a specific diet with specific times you should eat.

I just got my order of Unjury chicken soup powder and had some. It was delicious! Lol. Mostly because I was craving something salty after all those sweets.

Right now I’m getting about 700 calories.

Thanks everyone!! Patty

Pre-op diets seem to really vary depending on your doctor. I was on the optifast program so I was allowed to eat vegies and salads in addition to having 3 optifast shakes/protein bars every day.

The best advice is to just stick with your Surgeon's advice. They are the ones who are going to be digging around your liver! Lol!
