Ok I was worried

Yes. I am. It's been hard. I have to admit I have cheated but not full meals.

I also have to do the Atkins Diet. Eat and drink up midnight

before surgery.

I am on all liquid until my surgery.Smh. It's worth it.

What do u eat for Breakfast

Mine is all pre-packaged high protein product from the Drs office. Food, drink,bars, cookies, hot chocolate. 800-900 cal/ day and about 90g of protein.

Every doctor has different requirements. I had to go on a all liquid diet NO FOOD for 2 weeks. It was to make my liver as small as possible

Atkins induction here too.

Mine was liquid too. With exception I could eat a protein bar for breakfast and lunch. Been a long two weeks

I followed a diet given to me by my dietition, and the last couple of weeks before the 10 day diet, She upped my protein to 95 g a day. The the 10 day diet I got to eat small meal at lunch and dinner the first five days then it was protein shakes popcicles and broth the last five days. I didn't think it was to bad. You will survive.

Has anyone NOT had to follow a pre op diet? I was told "not to gain any weight" and just eat sensibly. I am a little worried about it. I don't wants liver to be in the way.

I can have 4-5 protein drinks a day , plus 1 meal of 4-5 oz lean meat ( not fried) and 1 cup of none starchy veggies. It really hasn't been to bad. I've still got two days until surgery day, and so far I've lost 11 pounds. Not to shabby for just two weeks!

Every surgeon is different. Just follow the rules of your surgeon he is the operating on you and that's probably just how he does his type of surgery. Good look and let us know how your doing
