I was on a liquid diet with protien shakes.  The shakes are what saved me.  I had them with milk and that was ok with my doctor.  I did this for 2 weeks pre op.  Wish you well on your road to surgery.  It will go faster than you think.

No pre-op liquid diet for me. It was just a low-fat diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery, in order to shrink my liver. Most bariatric surgeons don't recommend Slim Fast. They will want you to choose a whey isolate protein shake. But every surgeon has their own protocol and you will need to follow their suggestions.

I start mine next Monday. 14 days of all liquids: 5 shakes/day free 200 cal or less each to choose from Atkins/Carnation sugar free instant breakfast /Slim fast low carb only, etc. Clear Broth, SF jello and SF popsicles unlimited water/low cal sugar free drinks like crystal light and propel zero...absolutely no solids whatsover. Daily calorie intake 800-1000 calories. I'm not looking forward to it but excited to see how many pounds I will actually drop in that 2 week period.
