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.

Yea well I can't live off of three shakes a day for two weeks so I had to adjust a little bit!
