Preop Diet 10 day liq. diet what was urs like

I was on a 2 week 1500 cal diet,that was very easy. Every one is different.
Good luck to you.

My diet consisted of SF Carnation IB, sf jello, clear sf liquids and for the occasional treat bouillion. But, as others have said, every surgeon is different. Call your doctor and see what he reccommends. I was told the reason for my diet was to shrink my liver for a safer surgery. I lost abt 12 lbs.

I was told the very same thing "to reduce my liver " for a safer surgery.

Boost is a product used for people who want to gain weight, not lose. ;o)

As you can see, we can't help you! We vary so much in what our docs tell us. I had no pre-op diet at all.

You need to check with your own medical team.

I was on 21 days pre-op. protein drinks, broth, sf popsicles, sf jello, fat free milk. It was tough, but I did it. No pudding or cream soup. Every pre-op is different.
Best Wishes to you!

I, too, had no pre-op diet, I actually did the "last supper" thing and ate everything I could not after surgery, fav restaurant, desert, etc. I only had to stop all foods the night before like most surgeries. I know some Dr's like to have their patients do a pre-op to shrink your liver which makes it easier to get to your stomach to put the band in. It will probably be hard, but worth it in the end. Good luck!!
