First of all, congratulations on getting your surgery! This is a new and exciting time for you and all of us! Now, I had to do a low carb diet consisting of two low carb Protein shakes a day and one meal a day the size of a CD. I tried some things but finally settled with the Adkins premade shakes, believe me they are the best tasting and most satisfying and for my meals I just went and got some yummy lean cuisines and smart ones and healthy choice. I lost like 10 pounds before my surgery like that and it was not that difficult. I could also have sugar free popsicles and Jello.:cursing: I limited them to one of each a day. And believe me it does make a difference. My doctor did the surgery in just 45 mins and said that everything went great because of the diet. He said he could really tell I followed it because it made things a lot more easy for them to work around. I hope this helps.
