Got My Pre-Op Diet...oh Boy!

[AmandaBelle75 14]

I went for my final nutrition appointment today. We went over my pre-op diet and I will be on a 10 day full liquid diet which is way better than the two week clear liquid diet my sister has to do. I will be able to drink crystal light, Water, Gatorade 2, broth, Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, sugar free fudgesicles and yogurt, milk or cottage cheese. Too bad I don't like yogurt, milk and cottage cheese! Darn it! I am waiting on the psychiatrist to submit her report to my surgeon so they can then send everything to my insurance for approval. I have met all the requirements so hopefully the approval process will be quick and painless. Wish me luck!

Here is my favorite Breakfast Chobani yogurt get vanilla (plain is pretty sour) add in half a scoop whey isolate vanilla Protein powder, benefiber (unflavored), Spendra to taste. About 200 calories for 25 g of Protein.

Mrs Dash nonsalft flavorings add to stock before heating. Stock has a lot more flavor than broth.

Thanks for the tips! I will definitely give them a try for sure!

You start on your diet before you are approved by your ins.? Sorry I'm just starting all of this.

I won't actually start the diet until 10 days before surgery. My nutritionist just went over everything and gave me my meal plan because I won't see her again until after surgery.
