It seems there are so many different pre-op diets. Every clinic has it's own way of doing things and they seem very varied - not sure why. I'm starting mine in a few weeks so am curious - what kind of pre-op diet did you have to do?

Opti applies to all centres. Humber allows some veg. Usually 1 week opti per 100 lbs. If you have a fatty liver you may get extra week

I got 3 weeks of opti with half a cup to one cup of broth a day. It also says I'm allowed sugar free jello and Popsicles but it doesn't say how many a day. Not sure where to find out.

Revision on 10/04/16

i was given 2 weeks optifast but didn't like it so they let me switch to GNC Lean shakes. I'm allowed (low carb) vegetables and Bouillon. which is good because I'm not a fan of sweets so I would not have been able to do strictly sweet drinks for two weeks. I've been on this for 5 days and I'm down 10lbs already.
