My surgery is scheduled for June 20th. I have to do an 800 calorie diet for 2 weeks starting on June 6th. 2 days prior to surgery I have to do clear liquids and a bowel prep. Liquid protein I can do but clear liquids is gonna be tough.

My surgery date is June 20th. I am sooo looking forward to this. A new start to my life. I have been heavy most of my life. Now my love of food is causing some medical issues. My surgeon told me that 1 hour after surgery I will no longer need my diabetes medication. Now that was good news. I am hoping that all of us June Babies have a safe and uncomplicated surgery.

My surgery is scheduled for June 20th. I start an 800 calorie liquid diet on June 6th. 2 days before surgery I have to do a clear liquid diet (not looking forward to that). I am nervous because I know this surgery is life changing. I am excited because I know I need this to be free of all of my co-morbidities. I was looking at a picture that showed all of the diseases that WLS could help, I had over 1/2 of them. I am soo looking forward to feeling better and taking less medication.

Topic: RE: Surgery date June 7th, Day 2 of Pre-Op Diet
I started week 2 of a 4 week pre-op diet today, but mine is much different than yours. My surgery date is 6/16. I only have to limit carbs to 30grams a day and up protein. Clear liquids the day before.
The worst thing so far is no energy and the Ketone breath. Thank you, Scope.

Started my 2 week liquid fast today. Got in 980 calories and 50.5 gms of protein. Supposed to be 60 gms but I think that will come with time. I have been extremely nauseas all day. Had to take my prescribed Phenergan ( I have a symptamatic incisional hernia). I hope after a couple of days my body will become more tolerant of the diet change. I guess the alternative to nauseas would be hungry all day but I just couldnt stand smells or textures very well. Anyone else having this issue?
I would love some recipe ideas from anyone who has them. I am on a liquid fast till day before surgery then its clears and miralax ****tail.
