I know I'm not a male, and this is the Men's Room, but I felt the need to respond.
I had a pre-op and post-op diet that was $249. I was annoyed as heck, but it was for four weeks. I figured I spent more than that on food in a month.
But that didn't make it any easier, I was pissed as heck I had to order their diet. My surgeon's office MADE me order it from them, my surgery would not be scheduled until the called the company and confirmed I had purchased the diet! Grrrrrrrr!

4 weeks of a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. (one week to go). Then two weeks of liquid diet, then my date, May 28th. I do have to say, this Atkins like diet is doing me very well, I lost 20lbs in the 3 weeks. But there is no way, I could ever stay on Atkins for life. I feel if I eat any more eggs, I'm going to wake up speaking chicken language. Peep, Peep, Peep!!
I don't think I've ever felt as well in my life as I did when I was on Atkins.
At my place, they recommend SlimFast Optima, the low carb one, which is about $2 a can around NYC, particularly if you buy in six-packs. They recommended 6 cans a day, so, that's $84 a week. I did it for two weeks pre-op (to shrink that fatty liver right down, which makes surgery easier), and then for about a week and a bit post-op. I supplemented with premade clear iSopure Zero Carb drinks (20 ounces, 40 grams of protein).
