I have been reading here re the pre op diet I have been on mine for the last 10 days or so surgery is this sat I have lost about 8 lbs but there is no protein shakes on my diet it is 3 meals all containing food no sauces or salad dressings its a little dry but otherwise it's fish or chicken veg or salad with toast for breakfast tea and coffee. They called it the liver reducing diet so the surgery can be done key hole. I am having it done privately in Ireland.

Welcome. Your pre-op diet is very similar to mine except I am not allowed toast/bread/grains of any kind and I am allowed to have a meal replacement shake. I am on day 1.

My pre-op diet was pretty much the same. It was 1200 calories/day; high protein, low fat & carb.

Thank you. Yes, June 21st.

True, all these pre-op diets seem different. Mine is two shakes a day, 4-5 oz of protein (meat form), veggies, salad and some fruit. It's working... 8 lbs down. By the way, how do I change my profile picture?! lol It's not working!!

How long have you been on it?

I am just about to start day 10.. Spoke to the clinic yesterday re shakes to make sure I wasn't making a mistake they are all about natural foods and making all from fresh no processed even the liquid diet after surgery contains no shakes it has a lot of fruit juice and soups that I can make myself and fruit smoothies so kind of glad as I yoyo the lipotrim diet for years and hate the shakes. Roll on Saturday

My 2 week diet started yesterday and it is pretty straight forward Unjury protein powders (various flavors) 4 times a day 2 with fat free milk 2 with any other beverage,2 sugar free pudding,1 oatmeal, 2 Sugar free no fat yogurt Greek preferred,1/2 cup Raw veggies un cooked,1 sugar free apple sauce. and as much sugar free liquids I want. Needless to say I am starving!!!
