I'm wondering about what kind of pre-op diet everyone followed and when did you begin???

Mine was basically Atkin's Level 1 (high protein/no sugar or starches). I was supposed to do it for 2 weeks, but I was able to get an earlier surgery date so didn't have to do it adult week. The day before surgery I was on clear liquids.

I was supposed to do a week of liquids. High protein shakes, sugar free jello, broth, and sugar free popsicles.

I was so worried that my liver would not shrink enough that I did two weeks instead.

I am on mine now and is the same as inner surfer girl Arkin's low carb (30 grams or less daily), high Protein (minimum 60-70 grams daily), for two weeks I am so happy is not a clear liquids I would have not made it this far..

5 more days!!

Wat are you eating for Protein?

@@Danita I am having chicken breast, lean meats with some vegs or salad also I make chickpeas or lentil soups.

For breakfast I have boiled eggs or unflavoured protein shakes.

Clear liquids and a clean out the day before surgery for the surgeon; 6 months of monitored diet and exercise for insurance.

10 day full liquid diet - Protein shakes, clear fluids, sugar free Jello and broth. The two days prior to surgery it's full clear liquids only and a bowel prep the day before
