anything you like... meats and fishes are pretty equal in Protein so it's up to what you prefer. Just be sure to prepare them in a healthy manner (grilled, baked, etc). :)

I'm getting my shopping list together and was wondering what types of meat and fishes i should buy and veggies for my pre op diet...

I was also on that preop. I had 2-3 sausage links in the morning and for lunch it ranged from lunch meat rolled in sliced Colby jack to a BLT minus the bread (used iceburg lettuce as the bread). dinner was mostly chicken grilled with green Beans, spinach or salad with very little dressing. I still eat that way for the most part.

Most of my weight loss this far (~22lbs @8wks) happened in the two weeks preop an the two weeks post op.

Hope this helps!

eggs, bacon, cheese, cottage cheese, deli meats, tuna, seafood, hamburger, all red, white meats, chicken wings, wing sauce(look for the carb ct), some salsa, taco salad, jerkey, smoked salmon, most all vegetables except roots or potatoes. Unfortunately fruit is way too high in carbs.

Tuna salad, chicken salad, shrimp salad, omelettes, steaks, McDonalds burgers(less the bun), cream in your coffee. I tried to keep my carb ct down to 45 which is quite easy.

I was on a low carb diet for 20 years and was very successful. Good luck.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
