Pre Op Liquid Diet "??"
This depends on your surgeon's plan. My surgeon prescribes a specific brand of protein shake (3X a day for women), an optional protein bar (I opted out), and then no-calories liquids and sf jello. Tho, her plan also stated no more than 20 additional carb grams a day and no more than 30 calories a day (just adding benefiber to a protein shake takes up 15 calories). So, mostly I drank water and herbal tea with splenda.
Mine was full liquids 60gs of protein perday for 4 days and then clear liquids on the day prior to surgery.
some surgeons don't eve have a plan. some require two weeks prior to surgery.

I'm curious too. I haven't been told anything from where I'm getting my surgery. All I know, I've been approved and still waiting for the surgeon's office to call. I am wondering if I will have to do any pre op diet, too. I wish they would have told me by now so I can prepare for it.
I guess I have to wait and see too. I'm sure they will tell you also when the time is right.
God Bless,

This is to the best of my memory, my surgery was over 2 years ago.....I believe I did 4 protein shakes a day (from a package that I bought through my weight loss Dr.), and as many salads as I wanted, my salads were not to have any carbs and the dressing was to have very low carbs w/ good oil (I make my own w/ flaxseed oil, balsamic vinegar and a good season Italian packet).
It wasn't that bad, and I knew there was a VERY good reason I did it....needed to shrink that liver so I was more likely to be able to have a laprascopic procedure.
Good luck,
Edie
