These meal plans are designed for patients that need to lose weight before having their gastric sleeve surgery. The average patient can expect to lose 6-8 pounds per month following these plans, so plan accordingly if you have a specific target you need to reach. Please note that results may vary and cannot be guaranteed.*
If you are not asked by your surgeon, doctor, or nutritionist to lose weight before your surgery then you do not have to follow these plans, only the Pre-Op Clear Liquids Diet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are having your surgery in the next 1 to 2 weeks we urge you to read our Pre-Op Guidelines. Most surgeons require a 48-hour clear liquids diet before your surgery date. It is extremely important to follow this part of the Pre-Op Diet. Failure to complete it may result in your surgeon refusing the perform the surgery. For assistance on this and any other matter please contact our nutritionist team.
