I am on day #4 on my pre-op diet. My surgery is scheduled for March 18th. This week I am suppose to drink 2 shakes and have 3-4 oz of chicken, fish or turkey (without the skin and not fried) along with unlimited veggies that are on a list from my dr and 1 fruit a day that is on the list from the doctor. This is really tough for me. I do this until Monday and then it is suppose to be just 3 shakes a day and Water until my surgery. The past 2 nights I did add a piece of cheese. It is going to be tough enough to do this after surgery, but doing it before surgery is even harder. I understand they want to shrink my liver before surgery. What are some of the things that you are able to have pre-op? This surgery isnt an option for me. I have to do it. I know that I can't lose the weight and keep it off any other way. I welcome any tips/advice to help me through this . Teresa

Thank you! I am not as nervous as I thought I would be. I so want to eat though.

I am feeling better today. My doctor gave me a list of protein drinks that I can use. I am pretty much sticking to the Isopure, even though it tastes awful. The Nectar strawberry mousse powder isnt that great either, but I choke it down. I know this will all be worth it in the end. I just want the 18th to hurry up and get here

Well, I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. My surgery is scheduled for the 18th. My pre -op diet will be 2 weeks. The first week I will have a protein drink for breakfast and lunch. I have isopure, which I think tastes awful and I have Nectar powder, strawberry mousse flavor.for only the first week, I can have 3-4 oz of chicken, turkey or fish without skin. It can't be fried. I also have a list of unlimited veggies I can have and a list fruit that I can only have 1 serving of. The 2nd week will only be 3 protein shakes and at least 64 oz water. The hard part is giving up my diet cokes, but it has to be done. I am ready to begin my new journey. Dr. Jeremy Korman, in marina del rey...ca, is doing my surgery.

Oh, and its scheduled for March 18th

My pre op diet starts 2 weeks before
