Two week pre op diet is complete meal replacement shakes or are you eating jellos puddings juices im confused. My dietitian was saying to eat luke your in week 5 post op which doesnt make any sense because everyone else seems to be liquids

Unfortunately, every doctor has different pre-op requirements. I would check with your doctor's office just to be sure what they recommend. Best wishes to you!!

when do you get this information from doctor? I have bout 3 months to go, I meet with the surgeon for the first time next month.

You need to check with your surgeon. They will tell you what you should be doing. It can be confusing at first, and they know that, so call away!

Everyone's instructions are different. Mine is 2 weeks (based on my BMI) of 2 meal replacing shakes a day and 1 cup of greens, 1 cup of fruits and 5-7oz of lean protein depending on what the source is- (5 for beef or up to 7 for fish, I was told). Tomorrow will be my 6th day on the pre-op diet. I cheated once. You can use the "my fitness pal" app to track what you're consuming, gives you a great breakdown of what ratios of fat/carbs/protein based on what is entered into your food "diary". Then you can ask your surgeon or nutritionist what range they want you to stay in~

Just MY experience I did a pre op for a month it was 2 shakes a day then a small meal for dinner then for the 2weeks before surgery it was 2 shakes and a big green salad for dinner with lemon juice and a bit of white distelled vinagar and that was it , u can look up online about the pre op or post op for lapbsnd hope this helped as I had to look it up that's how I knoew.

When I had my first appointment, I met with the dietician, billing person, RN, had EKG, and met the doctor. All of my pre-op tests etc., were then scheduled

When I was first approved, they asked if I wanted to meet with them or my own physician. I chose my own because of the driving distance. So basically I meet with my own personal doctor for the 3rd time tomorrow. We are just discussing exercise ideas and calorie counts. I will meet with the actual nutritionist, surgeon, etc on Sept 16 for the first time. I think that is why I may have questions still because I haven't dealt with them personally yet. At this point I feel like I am on my own trying to cut back and lose a little weight each month if possible. I have a hard time with calories so I think counting weight watcher points are easier. Right now I'm doing the SHRED diet just to get me going because it's fast. I have only lost 5 lbs so far, trying to stay motivated and definitely excited for the band.
