Willi333 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 ... and the pre op diet options are: Rules are applicable for each diet listed. 1. No alcohol for two weeks prior to the surgery. 2. One Chromium Picolinate 400 mcg per day can be taken for fat-burning purposes. 3. One Metamucil capsule can be taken at 10:00 am and one at 3:00 pm for hunger pangs. 4. 1-2 diet drinks a day are allowed, but not to be taken to excess. 5. A green salad (no colors other than green!!) may be consumed. A zero to five calorie dressing may be used, but not to excess. (Example: Wish Bone Salad Spritzer) 6. If you suffer from PCOS of hypothyroidism, please continue with your prescribed medication. Altering your medication can make it more difficult to lose the necessary weight. You may choose from one of the following diet options although we recommend purchasing your pre-op diet from our estore http://obesitycontrolcenterestore.com/. Diet option 1 Seven days prior to surgery: The patient may have one protein shake for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for dinner, not over 225 calories a serving. If the patient has diabetes, then Glucerna or Atkins is a good option. Diet option 2 A minimum of 12 days prior to your surgery: The patient may have one protein shake for breakfast and one protein shake for lunch not over 225 calories a serving. At dinner, the patient may consume one Lean Cuisine. As a snack, you may have sugar free diet jello and sugar free popsicles. If hungry, you may substitute a serving of salad with one serving of vegetable or minestrone soup. Diet option 3 With three weeks or more before the surgery, the patient may use the Induction Phase of the Atkins Diet. This is to be strictly monitored. Any cheating or excessive eating can and probably will cause complications. I did the 2 week option and it worked great !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
