Clear Liquids:  water, broth (any flavor), sugar-free gelatin, sf Popsicles, sf kool-aid, crystal light, decaffeinated unsweetened iced tea, decaffeinated coffee, flavored water, diet Arizona Tea, diet Snapple or Propel fitness water (don't you think Vodka should be listed here?? Lol)

Full liquids: low fat cream soup (cream of chicken, broccoli, mushroom, onion, asparagus, etc), V-8 juice (not twister fruit drinks), tomato soup, low-fat yogurt, skim milk, soy milk, lac tail milk, sf fudge pops and sf, low fat pudding.

Dietary Goals

  • 1300 calories/daily
  • 90-120 grams of protein/ddaily less than 100 grams of carbs/daily 
  • Take 1 adult chewable multivitamin daily

Tips

  • Can eat raw or cooked non starch veggies
  • If excessively hungry, eat 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or 1/4 cup of nuts daily
  • Don't skip meals and distribute protein shakes throughout the day
  • avoid all carbonated beverages
  • Once a week (once during week 1 and once during week 2) you can eat 3-4 ounces of grilled meat

**I know that your surgeon will give guidelines but I was really curious before I received this information and I hope this helps others!!

My surgeon (his whole group, actually) require 2 weeks of Optifast prior to surgery. Clear liquids are okay too, herbal teas, broths, sugar free popsicles. i'm on day 2 and i'm HUNGRY but i know it will get batter. i've done this Optifast thing before, and after 2 or 3 days it's smooth sailing. 

 

Doc wants the fast to avoid "fatty liver syndrome", so that he can better visualize the stomach during surgery and get the fat off the liver pre-op.

 

LOL what you're having pre-op looks like a feast to me!

 

Good luck! My surgery's on June 4. Yours must be right after.
