Pre op diet

[Ready set go! 20]

Seen my NUT today and my surgeon and they want me to start 2 Protein Shakes one small meal a day diet now. I'm freaking out because surgery is still close to 3 months out. Anyone have to start so soon?

Some people have had long pre-op diets. It's because insurance companies sometimes want anywhere from 3 to 12 months of documents dieting and weight loss. Check with your insurance company to see if this is the case.
