eclecticwingtips 130 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) My pre op diet officially starts today. I have 5 weeks of Optifast twice a day then a small meal of lean Protein and vegies. I know its not as bad as some but it is daunting! !! Im realllllly not a fan of Optifast so i just emailed my surgeon asking if there are alternatives they will allow What did your pre op diet look like?? Was it all optifast? Another brand or something else all together? Edited March 31, 2016 by eclecticwingtips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted March 31, 2016 5 weeks is a long one! But at least you do get real food once a day. My pre-op was 3 Protein Shakes a day, one green salad with calorie-free dressing, and sugar-free Jello and/or popsicles. I ended up not doing the green salads very often because I found they just made me hungrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breezy25 69 Posted March 31, 2016 Mine is all liquids. Protein shakes, sugar free drinks, 1 cup of milk a day, small amount of cottage cheese (which I hate), etc. I'm miserable and starving. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
