Dr.'s dietary sheet for after surgery. Is this similar to what your dr. gave you?
This is the plan the Dr. gave me for VSG and RNY. I am leaning toward VSG. The week before surgery: • Clear Liquids ONLY : Water, Tea, Broth, Sugar-Free Jell-O, Sugar-Free Popsicles • Protein shakes (low fat, low carb), at least 50 grams of protein supplement daily • Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before surgery After surgery: ALWAYS DRINK AT LEAST 60 OUNCES OF WATER EVERY DAY First 7 days after Surgery - Bariatric CLEAR LIQUID diet: • Water, Decaffeinated Tea, Broth, Sugar-Free Jell-O, Sugar-Free Popsicles ONLY • Protein shakes (low fat, low carb), at least 50 grams of protein supplement daily • DO NOT take Bariatric vitamins Day 8 and 9 - Bariatric FULL LIQUID diet: • Same as Bariatric Clear Liquid diet plus add Cream Soups (low fat, low carb, no solids), plain yogurt (low fat, low carb), thin Cottage Cheese (low fat) ONLY • Protein shakes (low fat, low carb), at least 50 grams of protein supplement daily • Start Vitamins Starting day 10 - Bariatric SOFT PROTEIN diet: • Chicken, Turkey (moist white meat only), chicken or turkey deli meats or lunch meats, lean ground chicken or turkey, canned chicken • Fish (light, flaky), water-packed Tuna, Beans (refried, kidney, navy, pinto, Lima, black, red, garbanzo, soybeans, great northern, chick peas, black-eyed peas) • Eggs, Soft Cheese (low fat), Cottage Cheese (low fat), plain Yogurt (low fat, low carb), Cream of Wheat or thin Oatmeal (no sugar, brown sugar, honey, or milk) and Tofu ONLY • Protein supplement (low fat, low carb), 50 grams daily ; drink throughout the day • Small amounts of light / low fat Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, Soy sauce, dried herbs, spices, Olive oil or Canola oil or artificial sweeteners • Eat these foods ONLY!

Not at all.
I had no pre-op diet (just nothing after midnight)
I had progressed through liquids and soft food in the hospital and released to eat solids when I came home, sticking first to moist and tender options.

I will add though. Regular foods as tolerated does not include oats, crackers, mashed potatoes, farina...(at least for both of my surgeons and their plans).
All of us are high protein and low carb. We do eat our protein but in meats eggs and cheeses and eat low carb.
We were all instructed to fill our tiny pouches and sleeves with proteins first and then if there was any room a little bit of vegetables.

Also preop diets are at the surgeons request. Usually BMI plays a factor in those decisions.
