What Pre-Op Diet Are You On?

I started my Pre-Op diet on June 11th my surgery is scheduled for June 24th 2011.

The Pre-Op Diet my Surgeon recommends is the low carb diet similar to Atkins for 1-2 weeks. My Surgeon said that this diet will shrink the liver, because the body will burn up all of the fat that is stored in the liver when you don't give it carbs to burn first.

My diet consists of something like. eggs and bacon for Breakfast, pork chop for lunch, hamburger patty for dinner. It is not a hard diet to follow.

I know some patient's have had to go on a liquid diet Pre-OP. What Pre-Op diet did you have to do?

      I'm on Optifast Protein Shakes five times a day. It's not that bad, just watching others eat is the worst part but I have to remind myself that I'm doing this for me and to get healthy.

    I'm on the Optifast range. 3 Optifast products a day (bar, dessert, shake or soup) plus 4 cups of low starch vegeatables and two serves of low starch fruit!

    I was 98.1 this morning - just weighed myself (I never weigh at night/so close together) and I was down to 97.4.... AND THIS IS ONLY DAY ONE!!!
