Self-Imposed Pre-Op Diet

[mandilou 1]

I think someone started a thread similar to this not long ago - but this is a busy board and I can't seem to find it! Sorry for re-posting, if that's the case.

Anywho - I do not have a pre-op diet, and my surgery is June 29. I've been thinking about doing a self-imposed pre-op diet - even if it's just for a few days before surgery, just to give myself a little kickstart, prepare for the much lower food volume post-op, shrink the liver, etc. I've lost my pre-op weight requirement (the key now is to not "reward" myself too much before surgery haha).

Any thoughts? Could you all share your pre-op diets on here so I could pick something that might work?

I'd appreciate the help! Thank you! And good luck to all of you so close to surgery!

I was on a very stricted diet for 7.5 months prior to surgery. In the weeks leading up to surgery I did a Protein Shake for Breakfast (fat free milk, whey isolate Protein Powder stay below 120 cal, 1/4 fruit) and dinner with a very conservative lunch. Usually chicken breast no sauce, raw veggies. I lost 50 pounds during the 7 month period.
