Joy889 11 Posted January 18, 2017 My doctor told me that my pre op diet must only consist of meat, cheese, and veggies only. As I look through the forums I see that a lot of people did the liquid diet. Has anyone else experienced a pre op food diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losingitinjax 1 Posted January 19, 2017 My pre-op diet is 4 shakes a day and then either a lunch of dinner with 4 to 6 oz lean Protein and 2 cups of green vegetable and/or salad with low cal dressing. This is for the 15 days before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
20mustang02 22 Posted January 19, 2017 I did meat and cheese only basically. I had to stay under 40 carbs a day and be careful because veggies have carbs if you have a budget. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xoxococojay 842 Posted January 19, 2017 Oh you're soo lucky. My doctor said liquids were mandatory. I did cheat a few days before because it was the holidays and i ate food, healthy food but still food. And i was fine after surgery. In your case, just trust what your doctor is saying. We did the liquid diet to get our liver to shrink and to speed up pre-op weight loss. It just makes it easier for the doctor to get to your stomach that's all.

AGreenEyedWolf 97 Posted January 19, 2017 4 Protein shakes or bars and 1 meal a day... all under the rule that the Protein in grams has to be higher than the first 2 numbers of the calorie count is the pre-op diet for me... only change is day before surgery liquids only after lunch.
