Pre op diet

My surgeon has me on a 2 protein shakes a day and a lean cuisine in the evening. 100 calorie snacks in between meals (low carb). How much weight did you guys lose on the pre op diet? And what type of diet did y’all have?

I've been told 3-4 shakes a day and maybe one small cup of veges or small tuna can totaling 6/700 cal a day

Mine will be 7 days w/up to 3 protein shakes per day. The rest is clear liquid diet. Broth, jello, popsicles. I start it on Aug. 13.

Mines 2 weeks of optifast products x 3, plus 100 g lean protein and at least 2 cups of starch free vegetables

My pre-op diet was 1500 calories/day. I don't remember if I lost anything or not as I had already been eating about that much anyway and dieting.

No solid food. Just 4-5 protein shakes a day, all the zero (or near zero) calorie beverages I wanted, unlimited sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello, a limited amount of tomato juice/V8 and broth.
