I usually do a 2-4 week liquid diet after a vacation to sort of "reset" myself and burn off any vacation fat. Wake up: Black coffee. After that drink a glsss or two of water to hydrate; coffee naturally dehydrates. Adding a little bit of milk or cream is fine, but do not add flavored creamers because those are just sugar nukes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner: Whey protein shake with as little to no additional sugars as possible. The protein will help you stay full and the flavoring can help keep cravings away. In between meals drink as much water as you'd like. After work I go to the gym and here I have an electrolyte drink. It can be anything: coconut water, homemade lemonade with as little sugar as possible, real hydration Gatorades, pickle juice and cooking stocks are all good choices. Even water with a little bit of salt and lemon juice is perfectly fine. "Dessert": Warm milk with cinnamon, nutmeg and raw honey. A natural NyQuil and along with a hot shower knocks me out. I also treat myself to a glass or two of dry red wine once per week.

I have 2 weeks of protein shakes only for meals. 2 snacks allowed a day options are only: plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, broth, sf jello, or sf Popsicle, 1 gatorlyte per day. Plus all the water as usual. I'm so hungry and pushing through, I have never found protein filling so I'm struggling.

My Pre-op diet it 10 days and I am on day 9. I've lost 11lbs thus far. However I did have a set back in day 4 and had some French fries. I talked to my dietitian about and reset myself the same day. I've been doing better on this Pre-op diet. It's a challenge not being g able to chew food. I am on a 10 day high protein diet. The worst part is constipation but surgery is this Thursday 6/1 and I am ready!

Well if your doctor advised you to do a liquid pre op diet then yeah that’s not good that you didn’t adhere to those instructions. The liquid diet is to shrink your liver and get your body ready for the procedure so it is very important that you do that. But also do what your doctor tells you to do pre and post op. Post op instructions are very important to follow or you can cause your self some major problems.
