1000 Calorie Diet

Hey Guys, 

 On Tuesday I am starting my 1000 Calorie diet. Also I will be 2 weeks pre op (Surgery date: dec 17th). Any favorite low calorie meals or snacks? 

Thanks

What are you allowed to eat? Every doctor has their own plan.  I'm allowed chicken, turkey and fish, cooked veggies and fruit.  I can have cheese but it doesn't count towards my protein.

One of my favorites is to pound chicken tenders until they're really thin (chicken tenders or cut boneless skinless breasts into smaller pieces) then wrap them around pieces of string cheese. (cut the cheese into pieces)  Brush the chicken rolls with olive oil and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees until cooked - about 20-30 minutes.  Top with marinara sauce and serve. 

This chicken recipe sounds delish!

You get a lot of bang for your buck eating lean meats and green leafy veggies. Keep your carb low-ish and make your protein top priority. 

I ate lots of chicken, pork loin and seafood with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and asparagus for pre-op weight loss diet. 

I am insanely envious :) I am on day 2 of a 14 day pre-op liquid diet! I feel like I would do anything for a Brussels sprout or bite of chicken :) Good luck on your surgery! Mine is the 16th :)
