Mine was two weeks high Protein and low carbs. My carbs were to not go over 40 and I was to only get carbs from vegetables. No caffeine and no carbonation as well.

I just got a call saying the surgeon was not available to do the operations, then I called today as I am pretty upset about it, the said they have been to cancel operations for the next three weeks, I then asked when I would know about another date and lady could not give me an answer. So as u can imagine I'm pretty upset about it, I've been working towards this for the past two years. X

Reminds me of when one of the very popular Mexican surgeons was killed in a plane crash. A lot of scrambling to schedule with a new doctor. I wonder if your surgeon had some sort of family emergency.

mine was liquid, mostly; it was 2x Protein Shakes plus one light meal a day. So I could at least eat that light meal...

I start my pre-op diet next week, for 3 weeks. My recommended plan is:

2-3 Protein shakes a day. These can be made with non-dairy milk, and I can add a small amount of berries to the shakes if I wish. I'm also allowed 2 small meals a day of lean Protein (chicken or fish) with as many non-starchy vegetables as I want.

And of course: no caffeine, no carbonation, no dairy, no sugar, no starches, no fruit, no processed meats.

I will be on Clear liquids only for 3 days before the operation. I'll be in Los Angeles at that point, doing a little sightseeing before heading down to San Diego and then Tijuana, so I'm hoping that those activities will keep me busy enough to distract me from the hunger I will probably be feeling at that time!

With the exception of the last day, it doesn't need to be liquid, just extremely low carb will shrink your liver.

My pre-op liver shrinking diet is: one Protein shake or bar at 730 am, 1030 am, 130 pm, and 730 pm... with one meal at 430 pm. I'm to aim that one meal a day to be high Protein and low carbs... my surgery center suggested Lean Cuisine or similar frozen meals since it's easy to track calories, carbs, & protein that way. To test my Protein Bars and frozen meals, I am to cover the 3rd number of the amount of calories in the item and compare the remaining 2 digit number to the amount of carbs... if the protein number is higher, it's an acceptable bar or meal. (For instance... a meal has 290 calories and 31 grams of protein... cover the zero in 290 leaving 29, and 31 is higher than that so I can have it, as long as it is primarily meat and veggies and I should avoid ones that have Pasta of any kind, etc). Then normally for my height, I'd have to limit my intake... including Protein shakes or bars... to 1100 calories a day... but I personally was told 1300 for me because of my BMI... (it has to be a certain number for my insurance to cover my surgery, but I still need to keep protein high and carbs low to shrink my liver).
