I did two protein shakes a day and ate a lean dinner (under 6oz of chicken beef or fish and vegetables). If you do that and drink clear liquids you'll drop a significant amount of weight pre-op. I even had a cheat meal going out to eat with the family a couple times and it didn't affect weight loss. My doctor did reschedule the girl in the hospital bed next to me's surgery on the day of because she gained 5lbs on her "pre op diet." Take it seriously and start practicing for the post op diet because it is life changing.

Find Protein shakes that you like, that don't seem like punishment. So many people have surgery and hate Protein Shakes, that just makes your life a lot harder.

Find other sources of protein you like. Try yogurts, etc. It is better to know what you like now, than wait until you have a small healing stomach and have to guess.
