My surgeon requests that patients limit their calorie intake to no more than 1400 calories per day for at least two weeks prior to surgery.

I am allowed glucerna Meal Replacements, crystal light, and broth. This has to stay at 1200 cal. for 2 weeks. It's awful! I started today. Good Luck!

My diet plan is 2 shakes a day has to be below 25 carbs, 2 cups of milk a day 2% or Skim, 1 cup of fruit juice, 3 dairy products a day to include( Light Yogurt, sugar free pudding, 1/2 cup cottage cheese) 2 fruits a day ( a small fruit or 1/2 cup canned), 2 fudge sycles (no sugar added) 2 cups of veggies a day ( can use italian dressing on these) all the Soup broth i want and all the popsycles, crystal light i want.

I know ppl keeps having issues with this diet and i know i am only on the 2 day but for me its been pretty easy. The worse part is the shakes only found one i really like alot. But the rest of the day i am eating eating eating and feel good. I hope this helped.

I was able to have 2 shakes and a no carb meal a day. If your following the plan and really worried about it I would call your doc and talk to them. Dont' be afraid to express yourself. I'm sure your not the first person this has happened with. I wasn't overly concern about the weight loss as much as I was about eating non fat foods and when it came time to weigh in on my surgery day they didn't seem to care much.

I seriously hope my body has gone into a self protection mode right now. I've only lost 5.5 lbs since my surgery. I lose a lb and gain it back. Yo Yo'ing with 2 to 3 lbs is frustrating but everything I read says this is normal. Doesn't seem normal to me to not lose when I'm eating so little.

but I'm a pretty strong willed woman and I WILL win! My body won't hold onto this fat forever!

Stay focused!

My pre-op was only liquids for 2 weeks before, protien shakes, yogurt, creemed Soups, sugar free puddings. wasn't to bad to stick with. i did 3 weeks because i was hoping to have my surgery a week earlier but didn't happen, anyway lost 20lbs before surgery.
