Long way until surgery, post op diet without surgery for now?

[lsereno 2,525]

I followed a pretty basic diet of approximately 1200 calories per day pre-op. I was on the diet for about 4 months.

Here's the gist of it:

Breakfast: 2 Proteins (1 oz. lowfat meat, 1 egg, or 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese is one protein), 1 dairy (1 cup fat free milk or yogurt), 1 fat (1 tsp oil or butter or 1 tbs. lowfat mayo) 1 fruit, and optionally 1starch (slice of bread, cup of sugar free low calorie Cereal, 1/2 cup rice or 1 serving oatmeal)

Lunch: 2-3 Proteins, 2 vegetables (1 cup raw veggies or 1/2 cup cooked is one veg), 1 fruit, 1 starch, 1 fat

Dinner: 3 proteins, 2 vegetables, 1 starch, 1 fat, and 1 dairy
