Hey guys, I'm starting my pre op liquid diet tomorrow. Here's what it's going to look like. Let me know if it's good.

Breakfast: 1 Optifast shake.

Snack: low calorie (20 calories) jelly.

Lunch: 1 Optifast shake and I cup of blended/purée vegetables (carrot, cucumber, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, green beans)

My surgery is in 18 days so I'm going to be doing this for just under 3 weeks. I currently weigh 149 kilos (327 pounds)

Hi John, WOW this could almost be me. My surgery is on September 9th. Our family is going on a camping trip next week, and when I come back I will begin my presurgery diet Aug. 14 - Sept 8. I plan on mine diet looking much the same, except I think I will have a lean cusine diner (less than 250) for dinner. My Protein shakes will be simple, and my Snacks will be a cup of Jello. Good luck to you. Please keep sending updates. My best.

I'm starting my liquid diet as well. My NUT also suggested I eat a banana every day to keep up potassium.
