I have to do a 14day pre op. I can have 3-4protein shakes a days and veggies. The veggies can be cooked in broth or like lemon juice. I can also have like salads with like dress that is non fat or low fat... Not looking forward to it

well... believe it or not, it will be a blessing in disguise for you in the long run. im in australia and didnt have any diet leading up to my surgery at all... and i was a big eater. Can you imagine the trauma of diet re adjustment after surgery?there was no shrinkage of my stomach at all. I think in retrospect that if id known i would have put myself on a restriction before hand. It was hard what i went though after woods. im just really starting to come out of it now. So... when you get fed up... think of the alternative.... better to do it now than afterwoods.

Wow! That was quick! Good luck
