Pre op diet?

As some of you might know I have to lose 29 obs before I am eligilbe for surgery. I here someone of you talking about a pre op diet. Can someone explain to me what this diet consist of?

my Dr had us go on the Adtkins diet, you can find it online. Basically you want low low carb, low sugar and high protein.

For two weeks prior to surgery, I ate one high protein, low fat meal (very small) and drank three Atkins protein shakes each day. It was difficult beccause I wanted to eat lots of things I would not be able to eat after surgery. But in two weeks I lost 15lbs. Lots & lots of protein, no fat, no sugar, well, maybe one small glass of chocolate milk Good luck!

I might try this. I need to get my mind used to the fact that I can't always eat what I want just because my head is telling me to eat it. The thing that I am working on starting this week is eating only when physically hungry. Maybe the shakes will fill me up. I might try that. THanks.

I have done Atkins before and lost 45lbs. I just gained it all back. I was actually trying to find my book somewhere in this house tonight. Thanks for reply.
