Mayo Pre Op: Has anyone had to do the 3 week liquid diet?
Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss | Last Active: Sep 6, 2022 | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
I am doing the Mayo 3 week liquid diet. 4 shakes, 16oz of orange juice, 2 Liquid IVs. There are days I just can’t get the 4 th shake in. It’s also a lot of protein to take in 120g. I have kidney disease stage 3. I worry about the protein being too much for my kidneys to handle. Nutritionist says I need to drink all 4 or change to a renal diet eating food. In the diet the protein counts are all under 80 while 3 shakes is 90. I’m used to the liquid diet, almost 1/2 way through. Any suggestions?
Also new today, I feel exhausted and just want to sleep. Did this happen to any of you?
As always, Thank you for your input.

So just wondering what the list would be for the pre-op liquid diet that others have found useful and their go-to so that I’m prepared ahead of time.

Could you cut the amount of OJ to get the 4th shake in? If that works could you take a supplement for the OJ difference? Or vice versa- if you aren’t able to get the 4th shake in take a protein supplement?
Or can something be added to your liquid IV to help with all of this ?
Just throwing out suggestions.
