My surgery is on Wednesday and this morning I finished my protein shake I purchased from my doctors office. According to them my pre-op supplies are exactly for the 2 weeks of liquids. I just have my soups. What am I to drink until Tuesday?

It sounds like your surgeon's plan is pretty specific on what is consumed when. If this is so then you're surgeon is your source for this information. Check your documentation, you're answers may already be in hand.

If your surgeon's plans are not as specific as they sound then typically simply continuing what you are doing is a pretty safe choice.

Good luck,

Thank you. ?

Sounds like someone didn’t calculate correctly?? What are the shakes? Can you purchase them elsewhere?? Did you double check your directions and make sure you weren’t taking in more shakes than they expected??

There Nestlé Optifast

I googled them and I think they may only be sold at providers or on their website. It doesn’t say how long it takes to ship them. Did you double check your paperwork to make sure you weren’t drinking more than you were supposed to. If not, you could call them and see if they can overnight them. You could also try calling your clinic. I know it’s the weekend but they should have someone on call for post surgery issues so maybe they will answer. If not I guess you really don’t need to order them cause your dr will be open tomorrow. Hopefully you can go there in the morning and get more.

Actually I had to drink 5 packages a day sometimes I could only drink 4. I started my liquid diet on the 14th. I read that I had to continue with juices or water and my soup. On Tuesday I have to drink 2 ensure then the morning of surgery 1 ensure 2 hours before surgery

Oh OK you're almost there then. No need to panic. If you have soup mixes leftover just drink/eat those?

Good luck with your surgery and weight loss journey.

Thank you so much for your time and concern. I really appreciate it.
