Hello my name is Arleen and I am sechduled for surgery December 26th I am new to this support group and chatting so any help would be greatly appreciated. I am very excited but very nervous at the same time the doctor started me on a pre surgery diet of four protien drinks a day and a healthy choice meal and a boiled egg but he did give me a list of veggies I am allowed so it is a 850 calorie diet with 85 grams of protien a day. Is anyone else doing this type of diet? I messed up a little these past 2 days because I was out of town so now I feel guilty!
