My surgery is Tues July 24th. I’m in day 5 of the liquid diet. I have had nothing but 3-4 Protein Shakes and Water each day . I was wondering what everybody else’s pre op liquid diet consisted of.

My pre op diet for two weeks was 2 Protein Shakes as a meal each than 3rd meal 3oz of Protein with vegies. I was allowed 2 snack during the day like sf ice pops or Jello. I also had a list of freebies that were 0 calories. Pickles were my savior, went through almost 4 jars in two weeks.

@MyBeesgirl you asked and I am repliying.
I have not started my diet yet, I will August 1st. My diet says : for females weighing less than 400 lbs. No, I don't weigh 400 but the way my weight was skyrocketing,i could have before long.
Okay here it goes.
1 daily bariatric or prenatal Vitamin plus any your blood test shows you are deficient in. I take extra A, D, calcium citrate, Iron and magnesium.
4 high Protein Meal Replacement shakes
I have,my choice of these as long as there are less than 200 calories, less than 10 grams fat, more than 10 grams protein,less than 10 grams carbs and above 10 grams protein. At this time, I'm leaning toward Premier Protein.< br /> 1 fruit must be small apple, small orange, small banana or 3/4 cup unsweetened fruit.
Unlimited non-starchy vegetables
Cooked or Raw. No pitatoes, corn or peas. Vegetable salad with light/low-fat dressing.No cheese nuts,dried fruit,egg, bacon.
1 meal either below 300 calorie frozen entree , also less than 30 calories carbohydrates OR
6oz lean meat(chicken,fish , turkey, pork) and 1 cup non-starchy vegetable
64 oz or more calorie-free, caffeine-free beverages and Water.
So Sample Menu
Breakfast 1 meal replacement
shake
snack 1 fruit
lunch Salad with 2 oz light dressing & meal replacement shake
Snack 1 meal replacement shake
dinner Frozen Entree
Snack 1 meal replacement,shake
My Bariatric Hospital is Ohio State University Hospital Columbus Ohio 43210 and my surgery will be Wednesday September 5th At 7 AM EDT, my surgeon is Bradley J Needleman MD and I am excited to have it fiinally happen and i,will be having a RnY bypass.😛👍😛

I made a promise to myself to take things as they come and do things in my own time.

LoriNumbers - I opted for the same flexibility. 5 days post-op, I am feeling HUNGER, craving something with crunch and savory. Protein Shakes and Jello are not providing satiety, although the chicken broth helps somewhat. whey Protein does not taste good in chicken broth to me for some reason. Am having better luck with collagen protein, adding the tryptophan separately to create a complete protein. I am blindsided by this hunger - did not expect any hunger at all for a long time. Any of this ring true for you?

Tomorrow is the big day! Supposed to arrive to the hospital at 6AM sharp. Nervous and excited but I can't wait to get to the other side!

Mine was 3 Protein Shakes a day with about 4 oz lean meat, 1 cup veggies, and 1/2 cup greek yogurt also included per day. I only had to do the pre-op diet one week prior to surgery but I started about a week and a half out.

Has anyone ever watched videos or information from Dr.

Duc C. Vuong ? I have spent the last 2 hours watching his videos and it's very interesting!
