Starting Preop diet early??

I started 9-1-10 with my diet.  (surgery 10-1-10)  I had full liquid/protein for 2 meals and 3-4 OZ protein for dinner. My Dr required 2 weeks - I started early..  I had several "last meals" at dinner.  I just greatly reduced the portions and thought about what I ate. No pastas or rice, mostly proteins.
I lost 30 poinds that month..  So I didn't do all bad.. The last week I was mostly compliant. 

I don't think its bad to start early.  You can't lose too much weight before surgery as long as you get your protein in..  I don't think its bad to have food funerals - just limit the amout - start practicing now, what you will have to do in the future..  PORTION CONTROL. 

You'll do fine!
Best Wishes..

 I'm just finishing up my 2 week liquid diet. It is not easy. I would not extend it. I do understand it is important and that's why I stick to it. I also had a few last meals. Sushi and seafood pasta (not at the same time). 

My surgery is scheduled for 5/3 and I started mine today 4/18.  I am only required to do a 1 week pre op diet but i figure if i start now I will have enough time to iron out all the kinks by the time I get to one week out.
