Scheduled for Rny surgery on the 15th! Terrified and excited at the same time! Does anyone have some suggestions for 7 days full fluid diet pre op? I live in Botswana so we don't have everything here though. Tx

Hasn’t your Dr recommended any products that you should be using?

Most programmes require a meal replacement shake diet. The fave in Aus is Optifast but there are lots of others that may fit the bill. Priceline ( which is the Aussie equivalent of Clicks) has an own brand product called Celebrity slim, I imagine that would be available there as Clicks is a South african company.

Other items are sugar free jelly, stock cubes e.g oxo etc

I would call your Dr’s office to clarify, it is ultra important that you know what you will be allowed in the liquid phase after surgery even more than the preop phase.

I am having my RNY on 17th, 2 days after you.

my surgeon said no more than 100g of protein per day from the shakes.. so the lower the protein content the more you can have pre op. I had up to 6 shakes a day but my shakes only had 10g of protein which allowed me up to 6. I never drank all 6 because i had chicken broth for lunch and dinner to break it up some, but also was drinking decaf coffee and liquid shakes and water.. I was full the entire 2 weeks.

Thanks very much! I'll look out for celebrity slim. I have the broths and sugar free jelly already. Just wasn't sure what product names i should look for! Will get in touch with the dietician as soon as they open on monday[emoji3]. I am meant to do 4 days full fluids from the 8th and 3 days clear fluids from the 12th.

So excited! Was hopefully my last obese new years! Good luck with yours
