Need some help. I'm supposed to start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I had to reschedule my gastric sleeve back in April and think due to the rescheduling, think Dr. Billing's office missed giving me the info.

Looking for information on first couple days of pre-op diet. I should be able to get everything from the office on Monday.

Thanks!

I don't know what your surgeon's office requires, but if you want to get a start before Monday, I can tell you what I was allowed. Four high Protein shakes per day (I used EAS Carb AdvantEDGE from Target), and one solid meal consisting of 4 ounces of lean protein, 1 cup steamed veggies, 1 cup salad, and 3 ounces of a starch such as potato, rice, or 1 slice of bread. No butter, oil, cheese, margarine, or added fat. Also no sugar (artificial sugar like splenda is OK). You can have skim milk in coffee, but not to exceed 1 cup per day. 70 ounces of Water or decaf tea per day.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, that is perfect and a big help.

My pre op diet was just low carb to shrink the liver. 20g carbs or less

I start my preop diet next week, one week from my surgery date. My dr is in WA state. The diet is just as described here.
