so, Im planning on getting my procedure during christmas holidays...how long do I need to do the pre-diet? either way, Im going to keep the date--but I was just wanting to get a realistic idea of my holidays may actually be like!

thanks!

What I have found about doctors is that there is no consensus whatsover. Some are 2 weeks some 3 some longer and some not at all. It is a bit frustrating. What I have found that is typical is about 2 weeks. 2 or more Protein shakes and one lean protein source, and some vegtables. The first 3 days were tough and then it became easier. I was able to lose 16 pounds on my pre-op diet. Best of luck. My diet averaged about 720 calories per day,
