Today starts my diet. I am very nervous but yet confident that I can do this. My surgery day is July 13 and I can't wait ????

So this is my pre op plan. Trying to figure out how much veggies can I eat??? If its not listed I can't have it.

Any suggestions.

I'm on my preop diet too! 2 shakes,( for 2 meals) and then 4oz Protein and 1/2 veggies for another. SF Jello, Popsicles and broth for Snacks. he even said, if you get hungry and need something, just make sure it's protein like a slice of cheese or beef Jerky. I really like him a lot! Good luck everyone!!

You all are lucky! My diet starts today, and I can only have 4 Protein shakes a day and SF liquids (Water, crystal light). It's only 4:40 and I'm dyin! Lol

I just keep telling myself, it's all for health, it's all for health....,

As of today I have made it through the first of two weeks. I have to drink 4 of these New Direction shakes a day. I am not allowed any other food. I can only have no or extremely low calorie fluids, so basically water or crystal light.

I will say that around day 4 or 5 things got easier. The scale is really moving so that is a great motivator. I had one friend who cheated on his pre-op diet and the surgeon just sewed him back up without doing the surgery. The smaller the liver and stomach are at the time of surgery, the better job the surgeon can do and the better long-term results you can expect.

I get sleeved in a week and a day and the only thing I know is that it is going to be an adventure.
