My pre-op diet lasted 17 days, and was this:

Breakfast: Low cal/low carb/high protein shake
Lunch: Ditto
Snack: Allowed one other shake if needed
Dinner: 3 oz lean meat + a salad with a list of allowable veggies and a low carb salad dressing.
Other snacks: Allowed as much broth, sugar-free jello and sugar-free popsicles as I could stand(which wasn't much)
My calories never went over 800, no matter how big I made that one allowable salad with scads of mixed greens and raw mushrooms(my ingredients of choice)
So much water/Crystal Light that I probably spent an hour doing nothing but peeing everyday!

I'd hoped to lose lots in this 17 day protein-shake marathon, but I only lost about 10 pounds overall.

Good luck! :)
