2 weeks all liquid diet before revision
I am having my revision surgery on Feb. 19. Revising from VBG to Gastric Bypass. 2 weeks before my surgery I have to go on an all liquid diet of 800 calories a day to lose weight & shrink liver so it will be easier for surgeons to do surgery. Am wondering if anybody else was required to do this before their revisions ??? How did you handle it. ??? This is a drastic change in diet & Im concerned I may have cravings, etc. Any suggestions other than talking to my Dietician which I plan on doing this next week ??????
That is all I could have for 2 weeks before being banded. When I got ride of that nasty thing and went in for the sleeve, they had added 2 cups of raw veggies to the above items. Just celery, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli and the such.
BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
Oh yeah I had to do 30 days of liquids, skim milk 3x a day and all the no calories drinks I wanted. Then after surgery it was another week of clears, then a week or 2 of full liquids then finally mushies! After the first couple of days it didn't bother me much, I felt too tired to eat anyway. I wouldn't plan any big projects while you are doing the liquids just because you usually feel pretty burnt out during that time. I didn't really have many cravings tho.
