  1. Preoperative Liquid Protein Diet

  2. Why Is A Liquid Diet Needed? The purpose of a liquid diet before bariatric surgery is not simply to place another roadblock in front of you; instead, it’s to make sure the surgery goes as smoothly as possible. Typically, this liquid diet is done for about 2 weeks just before the date of surgery.

  3. Tips to Make the Liquid Diet Work Read the Nutrition Facts Label The nutrition labels will help you estimate the total calories of your liquid diet and ensure you are meeting your protein needs, while avoiding too much sugar.

  4. Space Out Meals & Snacks Eating everything at one time will make it harder to manage hunger throughout the day and will cause stomach problems after surgery.

  5. Avoid Restaurants Very few things on the menu will be acceptable choices and it will only make it more difficult to stay on the diet.

  6. Stick to A Grocery List It is much easier to have self-control once per week at the grocery store then to try to avoid tempting foods all week.

  7. Focus on the Big Picture Remember the reason you are choosing to undergo surgery and that liquid diets are ultimately temporary.

  8. Summary Many surgeons require a special pre-op liquid diet before bariatric surgery that lasts about 2 weeks. The purpose of this diet is to start losing weight, get used to liquid diets, and reduce liver size. These factors ultimately help to ensure the best surgery outcome.
