hello everyone.. today i start 2 week pre-op diet.. 3 protein shakes, 1 small meal 3/4 oz of lean meat /fish and all the veggies i want.. I will most likely try some plain greek yogurt as well .. any one did this 2 week pre-op diet?...

My 1st week of pre-op consisted of 3oz lean meat and 1/2 cup veggie and that is all besides 2 protein shakes and water for the rest of the day. I don't think it will kill you to have a little yogurt, the doctor just watch the amount of carbs...the high protein diet is used to shrink your liver for surgery, making it easier for the doctor to perform the surgery. As my dietician stated, "the pre-op diet is not just to torture us". LOL Good Luck with everything!

Nope...all "liquid" for me...plus stuff like sugar free pudding, Jello and carb control yogurts...my doc was pretty strict about the diets...the 2 week (10 days for me :-)....) wasn't as hard as i thought it was gonna be...the 2 week liquid after was harder than I thought...but it goes by pretty quick and post surgery your not exactly "chomping at the bit" to eat much anyway...

Good Luck!!!

I'm doing 2 shakes, 1 meal with lean meat and veggies,,1 snack consisting of serving of nuts, egg or low fat cheese (babybel or string cheese snacks are good). My doctor told me losing a little weight is an added bonus but the diet was strictly to shrink the liver thats why I should stay away from carbs/sugar and high fat foods.
