Pre-op diet day 1
its not over yet! But I'm glad to say it's going well. Was a tad hard about 3pm, but I remedy that. My pre op diet consists of two protein shakes, and one meal (4oz of lean meats, 2 cups non starchy veggies). I have a list of free foods that have a daily limit. Mind you, they're mostly condiments, etc. I can have unlimited decaf teas and coffees, low sodium boullion, flavored waters, and of course regular water!
Here is what I've had up till 5pm central, in the order I had it:
16oz water
16oz water
GNC protein shake
16oz water
2oz raw carrots (the best ones ever, lol)
GNC protein shake
8oz water
8oz BP chicken bouillon (smelled nasty but tasted pretty good!)
then I'll be having, very SLOWLY:
4oz steamed Cajun flavored shrimp
1 cup steamed broccoli with 1 cup steamed cauliflower with 5 squirts of I can't believe it's not butter (yes, only five squirts allowed)
after dinner, I'll be sure to drink more water, probably put a flavor packet in it (for dessert!!! lol 😂)
Oh, and I found out, fat-free cream cheese is DISGUSTING!!!!! I'll come up with some crazy concoction to use it. Just gross.

My meal didn't taste as good as I would have liked it to though. LOL The store does a complimentary season/steam of shrimp and it was too overcooked and not enough seasoning this time. But my veggies were ok, after I threw salt/pepper all over them. Sitting here about an hour after eating and my stomach is about to rumble. Thankfully I can have decaf coffee....that'll hold me over for a bit/maybe another broth.
All your pre-op is getting done pretty early (or normal?)...I don't go in till the 8th for all of the labs. How is your diet going? Getting easier?
