Pre-Op Vegan Diet Plan

[Amy Elizabeth Morgan 0]

I met with my nutritionist this week and he gave me my Pre-op diet plan. I thought I would share since I haven’t been able to find a vegan plan on this website.

7-14 days prior to surgery

The following diet will provide you with approximately 1000 calories and should meet your daily Protein requirements.

The purpose of this diet is to deplete your glycogen (fat) stores, which in turn will help the liver to shrink and make your weight lost operation easier and safer.

lean meat substitutes (70 grams protein)

2-3 cups non starchy vegetables

Broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, carrots, Tomato, green Beans, asparagus, radish, pickles, mushrooms

May use fat free low calorie dressing or hummus

3 tsp fat

Olive oil, canola oil, Grapeseed Oil, Coconut Oil, Flaxseed oil, Walnuts, Hemp Oil or Sesame oil

Calorie Free liquids

Water, propel, crystal light, fruit2O, plain coffee, plain tea

Protein Supplement Protein shake

Garden of Life Raw Protein Beyond Organic Protein Formula

I’ve already started this diet even though I don’t have a date set. I am having a hard time getting in 1,000 calories.
