PreOp liquid diet-suggestions?
I didn't have a pre-op diet that my surgeon gave me. He just asked I lose between 10-20lbs. I did lean meats and veggies and cut back on my portions. If you have only 2 weeks until your surgery then the liquid diet may be the only way to obtain that much weightloss. You can buy a huge container of Light Muscle milk protein to make shakes at target. DOn't remember the cost but pretty cheap, maybe $25? It should be enough to get you through 2 weeks......it's a huge bottle. God luck THey also have it and others at Costco

The premier protein shakes they sell at Cost****hocolate only) are wonderful. I've also read posts about adding a spoonful of lowfat peanut butter to chocolate shakes for variety.
My diet is low carb 30gm up until 2 days prior to surgery. 2 days before I do bowel cleanse and clear liquids only. You only have 2 weeks so I would say crack down...go atkins induction which is only 20gm carbs...and you can not cheat at all! 2 weeks is pushing it but if you are dilligent you can do this.
