I am excited, need ideas for 7 day preop

I was on the diet for 10 days prior to surgery. My BMI was 39. I was on a 1000 calories per day diet.

 

I had protein shakes with almond milk (30 cal per 8 oz) for breakfast or lunch, fish, shrimps or white meat poultry with fresh veggies for dinner.

 

I used My fitness pal app. to track the calories. It went really well. Dr Garcia said my liver was lean when he performed the surgery.

 

Best of luck to you.

What type of shakes did you use?

I buy the Syntrax Nectar shakes on the web site Vitacost.com

They are 100 cal per scoop, 25g protein and low carbs. There are a lot of flavors (a large variety of fruit flavors (apple, grape, orange, peach) capuccino, chocolate, vanilla),

I like them a lot.

Hope this helps.

@@Trahan Caro what vitamins are you taking.

I have been doing quite a  bit of research online about the better ones to take and the consensus is all over the board especially since everyone body is different.  Did you suffer from any hair loss?  I am worried about that.  I have thick blonde hair full of natural body and dont want to loose it.

@@MissRobin, I take 2 Centrum and one B12 everymorning. I also take 3 vitamin D + Calcium 3 times a day. Through that, 1 take one Zinc supplement for the hair loss.

 

I haven't lost anyhair so far. However, I'm only 2 months out. I hear I will start losing my hair at about 3 months...I hope I won't loose them...
