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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
