2 weeks pre-op I can do 2 protein shakes a day and then 3-4oz lean protein and 1-2 cups non-starchy vegetables per day. 1 day preop, clear liquids. My husband is helpful and has agreed to do all the cooking during my 2 weeks preop and 2 months post op or as long as I need him to. Im so thankful to him for telling me to relax that he shall feed himself and the kiddos during that time.

I actually started to decrease my food intake weeks before my surgery. Aka calorie deficit, it helped me shed weight before my surgery and it began to train my body and mind early on. Even before my doctor put me on an all liquid diet I already was consuming a liquid for breakfast and down to my single meal for lunch, no dinner. This made it so much easier to just consume liquids because my body was already use to eating very little. Staying “full” with water was also key. As for the no energy, this was brutal the first week. Afterwards I made sure to keep working out as it helped me get that “kick” kinda like a drug 😅. Was it temporary? Yes but it definitely helped.

Personally, I was able to draw on 6 years of being a vegan & a lot of regular smells absolutely not to my palette…yes vegans come in all shapes & sizes & I couldn’t shift the weight in my late 40s. Also, as far as clear liquids I found the little 250ml water bottles great as they were an achievable amount to get in. It worked for me, everyone has their own way, it might be one big large bottle or a 1 litre bottle twice a day…I liked the little bottles. I could drink 1-2 during a 5km walk on the treadmill (aI’m now 5 weeks post op)
