I had to do a liquid hi protein diet

I could ONLY have clear liquids and 5-6 protein shakes per day. That was it :)

I was only required to do a clear liquid diet 24hrs before surgery which included sf popsicles, soup broth, sf jello and apple juice. I wish you the best of luck on your up coming surgery.

For my pre-op diet I could have 2 protein shakes per day and then one Lean Cuisine shake per day. Good luck on your diet and surgery.

I would call the doctors office and ask them to specify the things that you can eat on the diet. Good luck.

First, I would definately call your Drs office or maybe look through papers they have given you. My Dr has me on a liquid diet, however he will give me the meal replacement, Medifast, which I have happen to have done in past, pretty icky but feasible. I must have asked 4 times about that because I didn't want to have to order something last minute that I never tasted. He told me it will only become clear liquids 48 hrs prior, then bowel prep the night before,good god I'm going to be clean as a whistle! Every dr is different but I would call and see. Good Luck!

I would call my surgeon and ask for details

Call your dr and tell them you need some guidance on this. My program made me go to a class that covered pre op diet and post op diet too. It was 2 hours long and now that I have my surgery date I see the nut. on Tuesday of this week for her to go over more specifics of this also.
My 2 week liquid diet constist of 4 protein shakes a day, 2 mixed with water and 2 mixed with water and then a list of foods I could eat for snacks like sugar free pudding, cream of wheat, oatmeal, surgar free applesauce and a couple other things. I can also have sugar free jello and other liquids that are caffine, carbonationation and sugar free and a list of veggies to eat as much as I want to help with fullness. No starchy veggies are on that list.
Good Luck! I start my liquid diet on Memorial Day May 28th.

I really do not understand how a reputable bariatric practice would not fully prepare/inform a patient of the required protocol in the pre op as well as the post op. I was required to see a nut for 3 monthly visits prior to surgery and she gave me more info as to the diet part of process but my surgeon supplied the Medifast Shakes that I was required to use for twelve day and clear liquid protein( Isopure) for the remaining 2 days before surgery. Look through any and all of the written packet that you should have been given on your last pre op visit. If you do not have one...request one ! Best to you. d

Hello im on my liquid diet now and im able to have 3 protien shakes and i can have 1 lean cuisine meal a day. the day before my surgery i can only have 4 protien shakes no food. i would double check with the drs office to be on the safe side. it seams every dr has his own rules...good luck

Thank you all for your replies! I do have to go to my pre-op class to get all the details of the diet but I wanted to get a head of the class so to speak. I wanted to have to grocery shopping done:-). I have started on the liquid diet even though my surgery isn't until the 23rd. I figured it couldn't hurt to start a little early since my BMI is 61.4 and my surgeon says this is to try and shrink the liver as much as possible.
