Hi, I was wondering if anyone here is not requiring to do the pre-op diet. My doctor told me that if you are 35 BMI or less, you don't have to do pre-op diet. I'm 32 BMI so I was wondering if I should do it anyways. I'm getting so lazy about it!

Has anyone on the whey protein had any reactions to it? I have developed a rash since starting my pre-op diet 9 days ago. The diet change is the only change I've made. No new soaps, detergents, meds or anything like that.

My Dr told me to have a protein shake twice a day but could still have 1 to 2 lite meals a day. I started a modified version a week before I had to do the two weeks prior to surgery. It hasn't been to bad. I have lost 14 pounds!!

No formal pre-op diet, just a recommendation to lose 10 lbs by surgery. Initial weigh-in was March 18th, surgery will be May 15th...was down 9 lbs at my final pre-op appointment 2 days ago :-)

Hello everybody, 5 days to go and tonight was my "last supper" before the real deal. I will try to do a little pre-op until Friday which is my surgery day!!! I'm so excited!
