Dr Aceves pre-op diet?

Would someone that has had surgery with Dr. Aceves please post what his pre-op requirments are. I maybe going to see him soon and thought I would go ahead and get started.

Thanks, Judy

Dr. Aceves requires a pre-op diet for anyone with a BMI of > 40. You can have unlimited Protein, low fat, and 30 grams of protein a day. This diet is required to be followed for one week prior to surgery. The night before surgery, you are permitted to eat ANYTHING you desire.

She meant to say 30 grams of carbohydrates a day ... protein is unlimited.

When are you going to see Dr. Aceves? I'm so happy for you :001_wub:

Thanks, I contacted them today. They are going to e-mail me available dates today or tomorrow. I'm trying to talk my friend into going and getting the sleeve too. She has signed up with the same surgeon here to get the band. I think I have her about convienced to get the sleeve instead. I will keep you posted. Judy

Judy, you will love, love, love Dr. Aceves, he and his staff are absolutely amazing. That would be great if you could convince your friend and both of you could go at the same time.
