Preop liquid diet...yuck!
I have been having one shake to two shakes a day and then supplementing with a very low cal meal. Like tuna on spinach greens or a few hardboiled eggs. String cheese that is LF and FF cottage cheese. I am down 13 pounds and this is day 5 so not doing to bad. I do know that most is water weight though. What are you allowed to eat?
I start my pre-op diet next Saturday (6/6). It is like a super Atkins diet - no carbs, but no fat either. I am allowed 3-4 carnation sugar free instant breakfasts, 4 ounces of lean meats, all the vegetables I want and a couple of servings of fruit. I think one or two days before the surgery it goes to clear liquids. When my husband had the surgery 30 months ago, I did this with him to keep him company. It wasn't too bad.
