Darragha 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Hi I've heard lots of things about the "pre op diet." What is your experience? Thank you, Darragha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerriDoodle 6 Posted July 23, 2007 I was very fortunate that my doctor only prescribed a low carb diet pre-op. No liquid diet at all. His post op diet is also very liberal. There is a wide range of prescribed diets out there, so if you have a wide variety ofqualified doctors to choose from you may want to check out their pre-, post-op and post-fill diet requirements as part of your criteria in choosing one.

kcorbin 0 Posted July 23, 2007 I'm having my surgery tomorrow. I had 10 days of pre-op diet which consists of 4-5 Protein Shakes or Soups and 1; 4 oz piece of chicken or fish once a day. Other than that drink, drink, drink Water or crystal light. I'm doing really goos on this. I thought I would get headaches and want to cheat or something, but you know I think knowing why I have to do this to get my liver to shrink for surgery is the best motivation. I am trying my best to avoid all complications. Good luck to you!! Kelli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SD Chick 0 Posted July 23, 2007 I just finished 2 weeks of Optifast and after the first couple of days - I got to liking it I really only lost 8 # in 2 weeks and was certainly hoping for more but had a lot of stress in this last week as we had a death in the family. Today I will be banded - wish me well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
