Pre Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Hi all-

I started my pre op diet yesterday and things went pretty well. I was a little tired and ended up going to bed earlier than normal. I'm curious, how much weight did you lose on your pre op diet? My surgeon's diet is two weeks, a shake for Breakfast, shake for lunch, yogurt/fruit/veggies for a snack, and a small dinner. I must admit I'm quite hungry and even dreamed about fried chicken and mac & cheese last night. I found that quite funny because the last time I had a piece of chicken was 7 years ago!

I was on a two week liquids/lean and green diet. I had a Protein shake for breakfast/lunch, then a salad for dinner with chicken, shrimp or pork. Large salads with lots of other stuff, too. Artichoke hearts, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli ... everything. Large restuarant size.

Lost 10 pounds and the Dr said my liver looked great and was easy to work with.

BTW, I did not eat anything the day before surgery as I didn't want to be sitting in the bathroom a couple hours after surgery ... if you know what I mean. :blink:

I was on my preop for one week. I had Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and 3oz of meat and green veggies for dinner. I lost 9 pounds that week. I am 5'4" tall and my starting weight was 234. I was 225 day of surgery. Hope that helps!
