Pre-op diets for 5% to 10% weight loss

[Guest guest]

What is everyone using for the pre-op diet prior to surgery for a 5% to

10% weight loss?

[Guest guest]

1.) Who is doing all liquid pre-op diets vs modified liquid diets?

2.) What calorie range do you instruct patients to stay between on the pre-op diet?

3.) How long on liquids after each band adjustment?

Thanks,

P.

Our pre-op diet consist of 1-2 protein drinks, 3 servings of cottage cheese, light yogurt or skim milk, 2 servings of powerade, gatorade, fruit juice, 2 servings of regular jello, popsciles and sugar free fudgesicles, unlimited sugar free beverages, sugar free popsciles, sugar free jello and broth soups. This intake is what they are allowed on a day to day basis. i’m is proud to present Cause Effect, a series about real people making a difference. Learn more

1) We do an 8 day pre-op liquid diet which consists of:

a. 6 SF CIB shakes

b. At least 6 cups of calorie free, non-carbonated fluids

2) It is ~900calories, 145 grams CHO, and 70-80g protein

3) Our patients are on liquids for ~24 hours after a band fill.
