So my pre-op diet starts officially on May 30 but I started yesterday just so I could adjust. Mine consist of 4-5 protein shakes and 2 cups of veggies . How much did you lose on your pre-op diet. I have to do this for 14 days

I only had to do mines for 5 days and with only liquids. (Sf jello, sf popsicles, protein shakes, water, Gatorade g2, and broth) I lost 10 pounds in those 5 days.

I guess I am lucky -- my doctor is only requiring a liquid pre-op diet for one day. And I have been told NOT to drink protein drinks before surgery as they cause weight gain.

Good luck!

I had to do 4-5 protein shakes a day plus all the very low (or no) calorie liquids I wanted - which included sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello, both of which I ate with abandon because it was the only thing I could eat for two weeks that somewhat resembled real food. I could also have something like a cup of tomato juice or V8 a day, and/or a cup of chicken broth. That's it. No veggies, nothing. I lost 15 lbs.
