Can You Use Skim Milk With The Liquid Diet?

before surgery or just mix Water with the Protein Drinks?

I think it really depends on the guidelines your Doctor provided. I didn't have to do a full liquid diet prior to surgery. My Doc allowed me to have one small meal a day with the other two meals being Protein Shake with either Water, skim or simply smart milk.

for one week, its 2 shakes and a meal and then from the 23rd to the 6th, all liquid and after surgery, clear liquid......who come you didnt have to do the liquid?

I don't know why he didn't put me on all liquids. I wasn't about to ask him either. LOL...I know he was impressed with the fact I had lost 36 pounds pre-op so maybe he had confidence in letting me have the one meal a day along with two shakes and know I would follow through and not cheat. I don't really know for sure.

No skim milk for me. Water only.

Ask your doctor. My doctor also did not require 2 week pre op . I had lost 50 lb pre open.
