How many calories per day is your pre-op diet?

Hi, my sleeve is on June 9th. Just wondering about everyone else's pre op diet. All liquid (or mostly liquid)? Are you allowed to have real food? How many calories per day?

thanks and good luck everyone

My preop diet was 800-900 calories. With my old stomach it was hard. Now I'm lucky to hit 600 calories.

I was never given a calorie count.

They provided a list of approved shakes. Meals were to be replaced with those shakes. Using those shakes the calories depending on the shake selected would be 480 to 750

Yeah they didn't give me calories either but I logged it. Two shakes, one meal, three Snacks but very specific foods and amounts.

I drank 3 Premier Protein shakes a day. Each one is 160cals, so 480cals/day. The first few days were rough, but since they were low carb it got much easier.

Im at 1500 but only because I probably burn 500+ calories 5x a week during my workout. No liquid diet orders yet but my pre-op is end of June. I might not go pre-liquid because I haven't been obese for that long and have no co-morbidities so my liver is probably good.

I'm supposed to do Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch, eat a sensible dinner and Snacks (if needed) not to exceed 1000 calories.

That's a complicated question. Im 5'6" and currently 240 but I probably look under 200 lbs. Doctors are usually shocked at my weight. Goal weight is probably between 160-180 but I won't know until I see how the weight looks. I'm thinking more about goal appearance than goal weight. At 140 I'm a size 0/2 due to muscle mass and build.
