I can email you one I made in excel if you want. My docs gave me a pamphlet but I wanted something to put on my fridge. Just PM me here and I will send it. Anyone else interested just let me know.

tparkerc59 334 Posted November 2, 2012 can anyone tell me about their pre op diet? I don't need one but I want to do one and I start 2 weeks from today... My pre-op diet has been 5 opti-fast drinks a day with one opti-fast bar and as much Water as I can drink. I'm on day 9 and I've lost 8 lbs. getting my sleeve on nov 6th. Almost here!

timetobefree 74 Posted November 2, 2012 My pre-op is 3 Protein Shakes per day, up to 3 servings of cottage cheese or milk or yogurt, up to 3 popsicles or diluted fruit juices, and as much calorie-free liquids as I want (crystal light, coffee, Water, etc.) Typically, the idea of a pre-op diet is to decrease the amount of glycogen in your liver in order to make the surgery safer for you and easier for your surgeon. My surgeon also believes in relieving stress on the stomach pre-op, so I am not allowed any foods that need effort to digest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewKezia 20 Posted November 2, 2012 My preop diet sounds about the same. I get four shakes per day plus one yogurt. My surgeon says the same thing about shrinking the liver to make it easier for them to perform the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
