I had a 10 day preop diet started March 25th which consisted of 2 or 3 Atkins Protein Shakes. They contain between 10 and 15 grams of Protein and are very low carb. I also ate oatmeal or an egg & spinach omelette for Breakfast and 5oz of lean meat and 1 cup of green veggies for dinner. I lost 15 pounds preop and have lost almost 17 pounds post op. My surgery was April 5th. I did not lose the first week after surgery....probably because I was not getting nearly enough calories because I was not at all hungry. For me I truly believe the protein keeps me full and staying away from carbs keeps my cravings at bay. Those Atkins shakes are great too.

I did two week pre-op diet, not full liquid but could only have 1 serv. of fruit, starch, and vegetable a day with Protein shakes. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my initial surgery date was rescheduled (there was some sort of scheduling snafu), then my second date (which was several days later) was cancelled as my surgeon had death in his family, so I had to do an additional 2 week pre -op diet. I lost about 20 lbs through all that!
