Help! 2 day pre-op diet????

Robbiehage · March 10, 2010

Hello, I am being sleeved at a Bariatric Center of Excellence in two weeks from today, in another state. I asked them to fax my pre-op diet thinking I would be starting today... their pre-op is only 2 days! Should I start a low/no carb high Protein diet anyway? I really want the best possible outcome. I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Thank you.

I only had 1 week of low carb/high Protein as a pre-op diet. Every program is different. It won't hurt you to start a low carb/high protein diet, but if you want to stick with their recommendations it's what they have found works best for their patients.

You are right, thank you Tiffykins. You are always so diligent to help all of us "newbies" out. I really appreciate the time and effort that you put into being such an active member.
