I see that all you guys that have been on pre op, can only be on liquids ONLY! My nutritionist said I drink a protein shake in the morning and lunch and a light dinner(like healthy frozen foods)! Am I doing wrong? /:

Each NUT and doctor have different plans. My doctor had me on a 2 week preop plan that consisted of 5 slim fast shakes a day. Others are allowed to eat healthy. It just depends on what they want. The preop diet is to mainly shrink the liver to make surgery easier. So, no, you're not doing wrong. :) Just keep to THEIR plans.

Every dr's. plan is different. Follow what your nutritionist or dr. suggests. Don't worry you'll be fine. Some people didn't even have a pre-op plan so no need to worry if your's is different.

Different surgeons have different requirements.  Mine did not do a liquid-only diet until 2 days pre-op.  Follow the instructions you were given.

My preop for my vsg was 4-5 protein shakes and a salad with meat on it for dinner. My pre op for my Ds was yogurt and water only. Every surgeon is different and if you follow his preop plan you are not doing wrong. Actually,be glad your pre op is NOT all liquids,they are a real *****!

I am on day seven of the two week Pre op and my diet is two protein shakes per day and two smart ones or lean cuisines per day. It sucks but soooo glad it's not liquids only....I would have died!
