What to do before pre-op diet?

My surgery date is approaching (June 6th).

My doc reccomended I begin the pre op diet 1 week prior to the procedure. What should I be doing (as far as dieting) in the mean time?
I've been cutting down on fatty foods, crewing more, & making better food choices. Any suggestions?

Also what did some of you do for pre-op diet? Did you buy Optifast products? Are there any over the counter or other shakes to use that are not so costly?

I'm the last person to ask about a pre-op diet. I spent the last few weeks pre surgery, saying goodbye to some of my favorite foods. I probably gained a few pounds...LOL!!!

Congrats and good luck.

Another Houston area person!!! Yeah Who is your surgeon? I was told to do the slimfast Low Carb drinks. They are $5.50 area for a 4 pack at Walmart. I would cut out all carbonated drinks now!!! On my pre-op diet I did 3 amaze-rx shakes. For breakfast you got one serving of two of the following - toast, egg, oatmeal, yogurt. Dinner was 1 serving of lean meat and 2 servings of green veggie - beans, brocolli, lettuce, peas. There are several good support groups in the area... PM anytime!!

Thanks for the info.
My surgeon is Dr. Robert Davis (TLC Big medicine).
I did a work up at TrueResults and when the work up was complete the staff at Trueresults said their surgeons would not work with my insurance. I went to my insurance company and was referred to Dr. Davis. I went to see him in Feb. and he recommended a sleep study. Did that in March. It's happening so fast and now my surgery date is June 6th. I have not gone to a support group yet. I really want to attend one soon.

I am also the wrong person to talk to about the pre-op diet. The only pre-op diet I followed was nothing to eat or drink after midnight on the eve of the surgery. LOL.
