I'm having my surgery, gastric bypass, April 28 in Mexico. I want to start the pre op diet this week to make sure I don't screw it up. What diet has everyone done? Just shakes all day? 2 shakes and a salad? What types and brands of shakes? What Vitamin supplements does everyone use? Anyone use the Patches? If anyone has a daily schedule they used for the pre op diet that would be helpful also. I've read countless articles and websites and all can be just a little different. Any other helpful info you want to share would also be greatly appreciated.

I use Premier Protein drinks post surgery, 30 grams of Protein per drink I buy mine at costco. But on my pre-surgery diet I was told to stay between 900-1200 calories per day.

Breakfast = 250 calories = Protein shake with piece of fruit

lunch = 250 calories = 1 low calorie Protein Shake with 1 C raw or 1/2 C cooked vegetables

snack = 150 calories , maybe 1 piece fruit or 1 serving nonfat dairy

dinner = 350 calories

example 3 oz lean meat, 1 C raw or 1/2 C cooked veggies, 1 serving of whole grains

Hope this helps a little .... it seems all requirements vary depending on doctor :)

Good Luck !!!!

I also drank Premier Protein for my preop diet. I had two of those a day, which gave me 320 calories and 60 grams of Protein, and then for dinner a small healthy meal like 3 ounces of chicken or turkey and a cup of veggies. I also doubled my Water intake that entire week because the more hydrated you are for surgery, the better! I lost ten pounds that week.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but from what I understand it's entirely based on your doctor's preference. Not all doctors give you a pre-op diet.

What has your surgeon told you to do?

I am getting ready to start mine in a couple of days and just wanted to say thank you for the suggestions! Seeing that makes me a little less overwhelmed!

I feel like I am kind of on my own in it too. The surgeon's office just said to stay under 1000 cals for 7-10 days and that's it. Maybe we can keep in touch as we go through it and help each other because at this point I think I'm more nervous for the pre op diet than surgery!

Well I started my pre op diet today. I totally forgot I had left over shakes from my failed attempt at Isagenix last year. So 2 of those and I had broth for dinner from some wonton Soup I ordered a couple days ago and didn't eat. Tomorrow I'll go to the two shakes and a salad with lean Protein for dinner. I guess I'm doing this.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
