It looks like everyone is on a liquid diet for pre-op? Is your liquid diet low carb? My Dr prescribed a low carb (solid food) diet - 30grams of carbs per day. Surgery is on December 1st and I've been on PreOp diet for a week and lost an incredible 12.5lbs in that amount of time.

I'm wondering if anyone else is doing the same thing? I assume this next week won't be as much weight loss?

TIA

My surgery date is December 6, and I am in the 2 week pre op liver shrinking phase. I drink 3 high Protein shakes and eat several cups of greens per day. I have lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks, I don't get migraines, but I get really tired around 8pm. I am a little worried about Thanksgiving with the family, but I think a small piece of turkey will be ok. Any one else have any Holiday concerns?

I'm going to do my best to stick with turkey and greens plus I'm making mashed cauliflower. I need to check the carb content of gravy. I know I'm going to be disappointed! I might see if I can find a low carb recipe.

I like the idea of madder cauliflower ????

Oops, mashed cauliflower

Low carb? I've got this starvation thing with Protein shakes, 2 pieces of fruit and one cup of veggies a day!! My head is killing and I'm super weak

I low-carbed up to the 2 week liquid diet.

The liquid diet for me was 3-4 Protein shakes per day....very low carb shakes.

I stuck with this same liquid diet for the month after surgery as well.

Looking back on it now....13 months later......I wouldn't change a thing about how I approached it.

Grateful for the weight loss.

Three days to go! I could have done better on Thanksgiving but I've lost weight since and I have all the ketosis symptoms so I think I'm on track. I am so ready!

I'm just beginning the process but I know that where I go say 2 week all liquid diet and of course keep the liquids low carb
