Has anyone started their preop diet? What are your feelings? Experiences? How are you surviving it?

I started my pre op on Monday and haven't lost a lb. it's driving me crazy. The hunger doesn't hit me till after I get out of work. I work evenings 5pm to 1am so by 12 Ive got mini war going on in my stomache. It doesn't bother me. The no lbs lost bothers me more.

I'm sure it's frustrating...what type of a preop diet are you doing? I would try cutting carbs down to 20-40gms per day to speed up wait loss...I'm personally on the Protein shakes only and Im only eating about 20gm carbs a day.

A shake got Breakfast a good meal w veggies n Protein and my shake for dinner. Today I'm thinking about doing only shakes see if that helps.

I would limit the veggies maybe and eat only Protein maybe...veges have carbs (some less than others) the shakes only is a killer!!! But go ahead and give it a try..we are going to have to eat that way after surgery anyway :)

My doctor's office requires you to do Opti-Fast. It's expensive...I spent over $180 yesterday for two weeks worth of shakes, Soups and bars yesterday. I am not looking forward to the pre-op stage, but I can't wait for post-op!!! Good luck to everyone!!!

Thanks to you, I am going to start my pre-op diet early. I want to lose as much weight as possible pre-surgery. Thanks!!! :):DB)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
