preop diet questions

[Aria3 4]

How long do you have to be on it? What do you eat and is it all liquid? How many calories is it?

Hi!

I started my three week pre-op diet on October 21st.

Breakfast: Protein shake

Lunch: Protein Shake

Snack: 1/2 cup Yogurt

Dinner: 1 cup Soup

Water: 64 ounces

I consume the above everyday. I can substitute the sugar free yogurt for sugar free Gelatin or sugar free pudding. I mostly eat sugar free yogurt for snack because it's what I enjoy the most. I can have other beverages but I'd rather drink Water. I give my Water flavor by adding either lemon juice or MIO liquid Water Enhancer.

I've lost a total of 11 pounds in one week. Looking forward to losing more.

Mine was 2 Protein Shakes a day and 1 meal. I kept the meal very low calorie. I lost 11 pounds in 7days!

2 weeks of 1000 calories a day to come from 5-6 Protein shakes. Up to 2 cups of 'permitted vegetables' Low-sodium broth. sugar-free popsicles + Gelatin permitted. My surgery is scheduled for 11/10. Today is Day 3 of my liquid diet and I am hungry and angry

Headed to the gym now to put some cardio between me and my hunger pangs. Then I will reward myself with a cup of half-caff with skim milk and Splenda.
