In my reading I see such a variance in the preop diets. I thought mine was hard until I see people on straight liquids for the entire time. I'm on the Optifast 800 14 day preop diet. I use whey Protien instead though. Its different each day and I usually get to eat some veg and some protien. A couple days I even get a fruit and starch. Its mostly shakes but I can have Jello (SF) and Crystal Light. I don't have to do to Clear Liquids until the last day before surgery.

What is/was yours like?

Lanakila~ thanks for the translation, most of it I can figure out as I read - nice to know I was on the right track!

I think it is crazy how different everybody's pre-op and post-op diets are. Everybody has the same sequence, post-op, it just varies in length from doc to doc. Pre-op is really all over the place. I was on a low cal diet for a month, I saw the nutritionist really early in my process so I was able to get that started and then I had to be on Clear liquids the day before surgery.
