I'm in information overload. I respect his approach. I've got a lit if work to do, which I expected. To start, I have to start immediately with 30gms of carbs per day. Good holly Molly! That's not going to happen overnight. But my husband is being very supportive and I plan on getting there as soon as possible.

Cutting down carbs to that level will probably entail eating nothing white. Bread, rice, pasta, potatoes especially. Are you also on a liquid diet? If so make sure your protein shakes are low carbs. Some are not. Good luck. The work is worth it in the end!

I was diagnosed with diabetes just a few weeks before starting the pre-op diet. I did cut all carbs, no potatoes, no bread, no rice, nothing made with white flour, all sugar as well in the first week. Second week I continued the same and substituted a Protein shake for Breakfast. Then pre-op diet started and was all shakes all the time for 2 weeks with a lean protein(4-6oz) in case I absolutely had to chew something.

It made for a much easier transition doing I that way.
