He has several preop diets, I think depends on your insurance. He had me on low fat diet two weeks prior told me to stay on it and do not cheat. You need to shrink the fatty liver. It makes surgery easier and faster recovery. I love dr lavin. Where are u doing yours? Date yet?

Hi MK,

He didn't give me any special diet. Just followed what I had been doing which was just sensible low carb. On my final appointment with him (signing consents, etc) I asked, Ok so what is my pre-op diet? He said no pre-op diet. I said, what? You're kidding? He said, Nope.

The only restriction was only Clear liquids the day before surgery..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
