I am two days pre op diet and I've only had 16 carbs. But I'm wondering if eating a lot of chicken is ok? Cuz I can go thru out the day with my Protein Shakes (2) but when I get home I'm soooo hungry I just ate a bunch of rotisserie chicken. Is that ok? I had some spinach too

if you are on all liquids, no

if so, drink more shakes as they will keep you full

as the other poster said, what type diet?

[bonnielynn07 17]

Adkins

Your surgeon's office or nutritionist/dietitian should have given you some guidelines for both your pre op and post op diets. It's important that you comply with those instructions.

The Atkins diet is high lean Protein and low carb diet. Rotisserie chicken would be allowed on the Atkins diet. It does not allow for unlimited portions; you were not specific as to what "alot of chicken" meant.

If you have not been given any instructions for your diet regarding portion sizes and food choices which are permitted, contact your surgeon's office and request them. Each surgeon seems to have some slightly different guidelines...and their reasons for them.

If you are doing Atkins yes you can have eat chicken until you are full go for it you are to focus on lean meat and low fat cheese to stay full and you can have a lot as because its CARB FREE

Is this the 2 week prior pre op diet? Or is your insurance requiring you diet for so many months before approval? With my 2 week pre op was liquid only and clear liquid only the last 3 days prior to surgery. I too would call your surgeon or dietician and find out

[bonnielynn07 17]

It's my pre op diet surgery is on the 16th.

[bonnielynn07 17]

It says 3 full size meals or 5-6 small meals a day for two weeks no more than 20 carbs a day

[DeAna N 229]

The main thing is the carbs how split up your meal is your preference so when your hungry eat some lean meat & low fat cheese they are carb free
