Hello new here! Mines scheduled for 7/15/24. I been having a little hard time with the pre op diet.

It's not the easiest for sure. I'm 4 days to surgery and have been on the pre op diet for 17 days. The broth was the only savior for me. I couldn't stand normal broth, I ended up having to buy low sodium lipton chicken noodle Soup and drained the noodles. That and sugarfree banana popsicles saved me. You got this!!

Thank you so much! The pre op diet they have me on is 2 Protein Shakes and 1 meal 3-4 oz Protein and non starchy vegetables. I hear other people are on a all liquid diet for 2 weeks.

I kind of wish I hadn't had to do 3 weeks of liquid but honestly my appetite for food is dwindling. I noticed yesterday when I walked in to a building, I could smell something food related that honestly smelled amazing and I had this distinct, "Oh, that smells great" but I had no urge to eat it. Small victories!!

My diet is very similar to this and I’m scheduled 7/18. I have been struggling too but yesterday was actually an okay day. I found keeping yourself busy and take the chance on the chicken broth and the sugar free Jello and it makes it much easier!

Oh that great! So your pre op diet is just liquid or can you have 1 meal a day?

Yah ! we are close on our surgery date! I honestly didn’t think I would think so much about the separation of my favorite foods. Almost like a break up lol i hope it’s gets better.

Hi Everyone, new here... My surgery date is 7/22 and my liquid diet starts tomorrow mid day. I have an apt tomorrow where they'll be giving me info and the foods I'll have to buy from their store. I'm nervous and excited... and dreading the liquid diet. Lol I'm already grieving food and I haven't even started it yet!

Hi all! My surgery is scheduled for 7/17. I'm just a little uner one week away. On day 7 of my liquid diet today. shakes, Water, sugar free popsicles and Jello. Oh - what I'd do for anything crunchy right now! I live for the moment I have to take my Vitamins simply for the ability to chew freely. LOL.
It's been a hard couple of days emotionally, but I'm trying super hard to stay positive. You go online and read horror story after horror story - but I know there are far more positive stories than negative. So - I'm holding onto that. And remembering my "whys". Hope everyone else is doing well and their July surgeries and preops are just a blip on the screen of a happy and healthy future! ❤️

tomorrow July 10 😌 Weird because 1200 calories for the past 2 weeks and liquid diet 24 hours before the surgery. This is gonna sound nuts but I hope that my liver isn't a fat gigantic thing... so embarrassing. I had gastric sleeve back almost a decade ago and managed to regain the weight. It's the same surgeon for this gastric bypass.

I was surprised today to learn I don't have to do an all liquid diet except the 24 hours before. I have to follow an 800-900 calorie diet for the 11 days before eating food from my bariatric food store. So I'm glad it's not just going to be having liquid, till after the surgery! 😀

Oh goodness, I would struggle with that diet more than a liquid-only diet. With liquids, it takes away the temptation to have so many things I shouldn't. With a food-limiting diet, the food is there still, waiting for you to break and have a bigger portion. I'm sending all my self-control energies to you!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
