aroseofbeauty 7 Posted May 8, 2013 Thank you! You're right it's not a sprint. I had such a hard time losing those 10 pounds I thought I was doomed. I know what you mean. I had to lose 10 to 15 pounds before they would do surgery. I was put on a low carb diet for 7 months prior to getting a date. Aroseofbeauty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have already started my own pre-op pre-op diet so my body doesn't go into shock. My surgeon said nothing about pre-op diet. What kind of pre-op diet are your doing on your own? Thanks!

shays4265 26 Posted May 9, 2013 My preop diet is 2 weeks before surgery I have to replace Breakfast with a Protein shake lunch and supper will be 4 oz lean meat and a cup of cooked veggies or 2 cups raw. That is for a week then for 5 days it is 4 shakes a day then 2 days it is Clear liquids only then the night before is nothing. My preop preop diet is a shake for lunch and a reasonably healthy Breakfast and dinner. Just to keep me from getting sick or a bad headache if I went cold turkey.
