Starting the Pre-Op Diet Soon

Got all the pre-op diet goodies. It dont looks so bad, I just hope its not.
 
I hear that alot of people go on liquids for the last 2 weeks before surgery, but my diet is 2 shakes a day and a lean meat and veggies for dinner.

Is that normal for everyone?

Surgery Date 05/17 and I'm down 19lbs already, YAY!!

My pre-op diet consists of 2-3 shakes a day, and one "real meal." The meal can have up to 4oz lean meat, 1 cup veggies. I also have a list of veggies that are considered "free foods," meaning if I get super hungry I can eat them as long as I don't go over 1000 calories for the day. So far I've been averaging about 800-900 calories.

That's pretty much what my diet is. But I have been seeing that there are many different diets out there that people are doing.

How's it going on the liquid diet?

I started mine yesterday. All liquid for me. I'm doing 3 Nectar shakes per day (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner). Also throw in a little strained cream of chicken soup, some water, sugar free hot cocoa and some sugar free jello and well... that's pretty much my life for the next 12.5 days.

Nectar Shakes? How many Carbs are in those? How are they?

How is your pre-op diet going?

Good Luck on your Surgery!

I don't have to do any pre-op diet.....just take the mag citrate and clear liquids 2 days before surgery.

 
Mine is the shake for breakfast and 2 lean meals currently.  At 2 weeks pre-op, I go to all shakes.

My pre-op diet consists of the following:

1200 Calories

5 Slim Fast High Protein shakes or meal bars per day

One meal per day consisting of 5 oz lean meat, 2 cups of nonstarchy veggies, 1 serving of fat, and 48 oz of water.


I'll have a liquid diet the evening before the surgery which is scheduled for May 22nd.

I start mine on Monday.  3-4 protein drinks per day for 2 weeks.  That's it!  Well, clear liquids the last day after drinking 3 T Milk of Magnesia at noon.   I'm still unsure about having a 'last meal'.  I wanted to go for a cheesesteak this week for lunch, but have refrained.  Instead I went shopping and bought some new work out clothes!

Good Luck on your preop diet!

Awesome Job, in getting new clothes. I must say that is one thing I am really looking forward to when I get smaller is a new wardrobe!!

Keep up the awesome work!!
