This varies from surgeon to surgeon (even patient to patient).  To know what your pre-op diet requirements would entail, you woudl want to speak with your surgeon.

Well, technically this isn't my actual "pre-op" diet. I'm just doing it to lose the rest of my weight..

My preop diet consisted of 4 protein shakes/day, plus broth, SF drinks, tea/decaf coffee, a large salad with oil and vinegar for one meal, and SF Jello, SF popscicles. Honestly, I wouldn't go back to it if you have a choice. When did you have your surgery?

My pre-op diet was 3 protein shakes, 2-3 yogurts, and occasional chicken broth/1cup of tomato soup.

Sorry, I didn't include enough information. I haven't had surgery yet, I just want to get the rest of my weight off before my 6 month evaluation is over. Thanks.

Eat high protein, with good carbs (veggies, whole grain).  Stay away from white carbs (sugar, flour, white rice, white potatoes, white bread). Most docs will give you a plan and a calorie amount to stay under.  Ask the dietitian associated with the bariatric surgeon you are seeing.
