I was not on any restrictions prior to my surgery.

I would check with your doctor and nutritionist!

It is usually a 1 or 2 week diet prior to WLS. Prior to my WLS they said just to do lower fat and lower sugar, and higher protein for the week before. Everyone is different though. Do you have a nutritionist?

When I had my surgery three years ago, I was on a two week liquid diet. I lost over 25 lbs just from this! Here is what I could have. After day 3, I felt fine.

Protein shakes (not too loose, thicker shakes)
Broth
Popsicles
Jello
tea/coffee

I "ate" all I wanted during this time. I rarely allowed myself to get hungry. Like I said, I had to have the shakes thicker to do this AND you have to find one or more that you really like. Remember, you will be drinking this even after surgery.

Hope this helped! I have lost over 100 lbs with my band and I wouldn't change a thing!!!
Oh start working out now, it helps with the loose skin.


Only 12 lbs to goal

Highest: 365    Pre-op:  354   Current: 257     Goal: 245

Hmmm, are you lactose intolerant? If so, do not drink the whey..it's milk based. You might try soy...not bad but add to it to make it taste better.
