Pre-Op Liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

I was provided the Robard diet by my doctor but it feels like it's overpriced and pointless when there are others like the other one posted. Could I do that liquid diet or should I stick closer to the one I was given. It just feels like I'm being taken for a ride because my doctor sells the Robards products.

If it isn't mandated I would be using something else. I understand the need for revenue streams but not when there are much cheaper options and not at the patient's expense.

I had a look at the Robard site and their weight loss management system is advertised as a profit stream for private practices. https://robard.com/

My dietician who was aligned with my surgeon provided my options for pre-op and none that needed to be purchased from either of them.

In my opinion i feel it was wrong for your Dr to attempt to make a profit from a patient outside of surgery.

my surgeon didn't use Robard (or any other commercial diet), but it looked about the same as yours otherwise - 4-5 Protein Shakes a day, plus all the zero (or near-zero) clear liquid beverages I wanted (which included sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles). I was also allowed to have Tomato juice/V8 and plain broth (like chicken broth) - but I'm pretty sure I was only allowed to have like a cup of each of those a day because of the sodium.

You don't have to use specific products. Use your common sense and make it a liquid diet of your own choosing.

I figure if you can achieve the same macros with less expensive and equivalent/similar products then its all good. I am not familiar with Robard products but it is in all liklihood that it DOESN’T provide any extra benefits from other similarly manufactured products.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
