I did 2 low carb, high protein shakes and 1 small low carb, low fat meal (1 meat + veggie) for 2 weeks prior to surgery and lost 12 pounds. I have heard many other people say they had to do just the shakes for 2 weeks though. I bought mine already made from Target or Wal-Mart.

NO Carbs no sugar tons of Water and exercise!:(

good luck

My doctor had me do a two weeks of protein shake breakfast and lunch and a lean cusine meal for dinner.

My surgeon has his patients on Optifast for 2 weeks. Lost 17#s

Other good liquids is crystal light, diet snapple. just take a walk down the juicve isle of your grocery store. Sugar free jello is a good snack too. Stay away from sugar and carbs. just keep flushing your body with these and water. drink water till its obscene!

I am on the two week diet before surgery and have lost 14 pounds on ProtiDiet. IT IS THE BEST PROTEIN DRINKS/SOUPS OUT THERE!!!

I had to do Optifast and clear liquids for two weeks before my surgery and dropped almost 20 lbs. That is what I would highly recommend.
