Does anyone have a pre-op diet menu that is all formatted per day what to eat? My DA was very vague it seemed to me.

I am dec 4 in Greenville NC. Getting nervous but excited. What kind of shakes are you drinking?

[shrinkingcassie 37]

I'm December 4th! I started my pre-op diet on 11/20. Here is my diet plan:

Breakfast and Lunch: Protein Shake 20-25g Protein, 10-15 carbs, and <200 calories

I am using the Isopure low carb Dutch chocolate powder 1 scoop with 8oz of skim milk. I also add sugar free divinci Syrup for flavor. I have raspberry and Carmel. Delish!

Morning snack: 6 oz of sugar free or lite juice <100 calories

Afternoon snack: 1 oz of cheese and 1 medium apple, orange, or banana

Or...1 cup air popped popcorn 100 calories total

Dinner: 4-6oz of meat 1/2 cup veggies and 1/4 cup starch 300-350 calories and 20-25 carbs I make a salad with chicken breast every night.

I can also have an unlimited amount of calorie free beverages. The goal is to have 800-1000 cal 60-80 grams of protein and <60 carbs.

It's really not hard. I haven't gotten hungry yet. For thanksgiving I had my dinner at lunch time so I could eat with my family and did a shake for dinner instead. My nutritionist said that was fine. Hope all this info helps!!!

Thanks Cassie, that's what I needed. Never heard of divinci Syrup. Do you get it from the grocery store?

Mamagirls, I haven't started on shakes yet. Doc said start on Nov 27 with my pre op diet.......But when it does I am supposed to have shakes only for 4 days, then the 5 day have only clear broth and Water.

Taylor, I am same, excited, but nervous. Overall excited, because I feel like if I don't have this done now I will keep gaining and gaining and never be able to live a healthy life or never play sports again.

I just can't wait till I lose a hundo pounds.....

My diet. 3 Protein Shakes, 3oz lean Protein lunch and dinner, 2c salad with each meal but no iceberg lettuce, 2 sugar free pops a day, up to 2c sugar free Jello, 1/2c acceptable veggies with each meal and 64 oz sugar free fluids. I did not cut back on carbs like I should have prior to pre op diet. I think my body went into shock . Better now though.

I started my liver diet two days ago! I'm doing 5 shakes a day and that's it!! Struggling a little!! I have no energy and feel empty!

[Pebbagirl 131]

For those on pre-op diet (either Protein Shakes only or shakes plus food) how many calories a day were you advised to have?

[taylor5015 8]

I was not given a calorie count. Nutritionist said main purpose of diet was too shrink the liver as much as possible because carbs and sugar swell the liver. She did mention calories just minimal carbs and no sugar.

[jk8101 7]

Me either. Just told to do strictly 5 shakes a day. I bought my shakes from the doctor called "bariatric advantage"! Not bad!
