List of can and can't eat pre-op?

[KRYSTL166 0]

I was wondering what the pre-op diet consists of. If someone has a list that the doctor gave them or something that will help me. If I know exactly what I can and cant have then I do much better. I dont have a surgeon or a date set but im just trying to prepare my self. Thanks:001_smile:

This is Dr. Aceves post-op diet, I added a few things that were on my list as well. I used this for other ideas as I was getting bored with the limited options on my plan. Of course, once you decide on a surgeon, ensure this diet is "okay".

POST-OP DIET:

Here are a few ideas concerning the post op diet

Day 1 thru 5 ( Clear liquids Only )

fruit juice ( apple, grape, cranberry )

Propel

Jello-O

Water

My pre-op diet is 2 Protein shakes a day plus one meal of lean Protein and veggies. If I need more food, I can supplement with low-calorie veggies and sugar free jell-o.

I must admit, I panicked at first. But, I'm not as hungry as I thought I would be. (I just finished Day 6.)

Holy wow, I totally misread the title. Sorry that I posted a post-op diet.

My pre-op diet for both my band and revision was 1 week of low carb/high Protein.
