So in 5 days I begin all liquids before surgery. Did anyone just buy soup at restaurant and just drink the liquid part. I’m dreading this! Any ideas or suggestions please send my way. Thank you.

I had 2 week liquid pre op and it seemed like such a hard thing. But my liquid diet was every 2 hours drink or eat a Gatorade or g2, fat free or light yogurt, popsicle, skim milk, or fruit juice. I had to drink 60g of protein in protein drink a day. I had some free items like sugar free popsicles, chicken or beef broth, diet coke, sugar free jello. I just made sure to consume what I was supposed to and leave the freebie stuff when I was craving. I did cheat here and there and it was hard going through it. Especially when I would read on here people with 2-5 days of pre op liquid diet and I had 2 weeks.

Today was my first day on my pre op diet. For the first day I did pretty well. My dietitian has me on 3 protein shakes a day (equaling 60 grams of protein). One small meal a day that consist of 4 0z protein 1/2 of a complexes carb, and unlimited veggies all throughout the day.

I start mine clear liquids diet tomorrow on the 17 and my surgery is 8 days away . I am very nervous and scared and excited

I'm on basically the same - just started today. 2 protein shakes, 1 advanced recovery shake to boost immunity, and one healthy choice/atkins meal OR i can have a small portion of protein and vegetables instead. I'm just doing the frozen meals since it's easier.

Oh it is exciting, beyond wonderful and I wish you only the best of everything. Are you going to be a sleeve or a Bypass or a Lap-Band? I am have difficulties but mine are bypass-related and only semi-common, odd thing is my friend Ellie123 in Texas and me , here in Central Ohio have the same problem, I am hoping her dilation worked yesterday and then mine works a week from Friday and we will both be Brand New Women and can face the future!?❤?

Yes, I did, but I also had protein soup powders that I mixed in with the soup to ensure I was getting my daily nutrients in one source. I only used restaurant soups when I was traveling during one of my two week pre-op weeks.

I'm on day 10 of pre-op diet, now on 4 protein shakes and clear liquids each day. Doing great! No cravings, not even jealous of the family's meals. Surgery is Monday, 10/22. #newlife

Proud of you, keep on this way You have started! Surgery Victory Ahead!?

I have cheated on my pre op diet and my surgery is friday !!! ..... i feel really guilty, but i am having such a hard time.

I had a super hard time when I was on my 2 week pre op. I would start the day good, then cheat all day. I did do my day before bowel diet to clean out my stomach. I've still had a hard time eating right these last 6 months. but I finally got so mad at food controlling me that for a whole week I've ate awesome and even got in over 100 ounces of water a day.
