1 week pre op diet

Hi my surgeon said to to do a 1 week pre op diet. Did anyone else do a 1 week pre op diet and was it ok?

I am on a two week pre op diet. This is day eight. It has not been bad, finding creative ways to drink Protein. The most surprising thing to me is the fact that I am not hungry. Good luck.

I had to do a 2 week pre-op diet and by the 2nd week I was famished! Basically a starvation liquid diet without the appetite suppressing benefits of surgery, But it's important and will jump start your weight loss, shrink your liver, and get you used to what you will be doing for a couple of weeks post op.

I am now 2 weeks post op and still on the same thing and I am hungry now! It's been 4 weeks of fluids and Protein supplements. I see my doctor tomorrow and I will have my first soft protein food tomorrow for dinner !!!! Yippee! Can hardly wait.

The pre-op diet is the first stage of your new lifestyle. Embrace it! You are on your way to becoming the new you!
