Pre-Op Diet (non-liquid)

I've had my consultation with the doctor and as I expected, they are asking me to lose 35-50 pounds before surgery.

When I asked if I should be following a plan, they said "just cut portion size and focus on protein."  Well for me, that's not enough direction.

Does any have a plan for pre-surgery weight loss or any links?

I'm desperate to get on this road but I just need a more defined road map and lane markers!

Thanks for your help.

I too am in the same boat as you. My doc wants me to lose around 20lbs. He told me to go on the "White Trash Diet" which is basically if it is white and not a meat, dont eat it. Maybe that will help. Im having a pretty hard time trying to figure out what I should eat. I have never been a good judge of which foods to eat!
