Pre-op diet notice

[WobblyW]

Just wondered how much notice you are given before you start the pre-op diet? I figured the hard part being, particularly with the milk diet, the first few days, approx 3, as the idea being to get you onto ketosis. Thus my idea being to wean myself off carbs gradually pre pre-op diet so it's not so hard. Is my thinking right or do you not get that much notice?

I was only on pre op diet for 6 days because I for a cancellation. Think it varies for provider to provider

So my idea could work but may not.

I don't think cutting down on your carbs (evil ones like bread rice and pasta) will do you any harm anyway! It's what I did. In fact just bread!! I found I was addicted to them (confirmed by my surgeon!) Weight will fall off you!
