Pre-Op Diet

I'm having the sleeve done in November and wanted to try the pre op diet to see how well I can do. Does anyone know what the diet consist of?

depends on your surgeon..

some have you do 2 weeks liquid only diet.. Protein shakes & Water..

some have you eat low carb & do Protein Shakes the last couple days..

some don't have a pre-op diet at all.

most common (from what i've seen on the board) is the 2 week liquid diet.

My pre-op was a lean and green diet for 2 weeks.

Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch

dinner was lean Protein with a large salad.

I usually did tuna, but occassionally had shrimp or chicken. My salads were large and had all kinds of veggies in them, too. If I got hungry after dinner, I was allowed to have a Protein Shake.

I lost 10 pounds on my pre-op diet.

Mine was 5 days of nothing but Protein Shakes and Soups with 1 can of tuna or small piece of grilled chicken per day, and then the next 5 days nothing but the Protein shakes and Soup. I lost 15 pounds and was remarkably never hungry, but I had no calorie limit.

Mine was 20 grams of carbs or less per day, low fat for 2 weeks. Clear Liquids only the day before. I was happy to not have to do the liquid diet before. It really varies so much by doctor.
