Question about the Pre Op Diet...HELP!!

[Doug2090 0]

Friends, I am having surgery next Friday the 13th. I am on this HORRIBLE liquids only diet until Friday. I was wanting to know if anyone has any helpful broths, Protein shakes, yogurts, etc. I am only allowed 3 Calcium daily, and a TON of broth. I need to consume 100 ounces of liquid daily. Anything is appreciated :thumbup: Looking foward to FRIDAY Super excited!

Also, does anyone have anything they can recommend for the post op diet day 3-10. It looks like very thin liquids, Kinda like a stage 2 baby food. Just wondering :cursing:

Thanks a million for all your fabulous ideas~~~ :crying:

Look carefully at your surgeon's instructions. Days 1-4 are usually Clear Liquids. You can have non-carbonated diet drinks, unjury chicken broth Protein powder ( a few sample packets will do), and Isopure Plus 8 ox RTD Protein Drinks. This way you can get Protein and fluids in at the same time.

After that you will probably be moved to full liquids, which is cream Soups (strained), Protein shakes. This stage doesn't last very long.

Baby food comes later, in the mushies stage. I wouldn't eat baby food 3 days out --you could do damage, or it too much strain on your stomach, which is trying to heal.

After than you go on soft solids, and then solids.

At least this is program. Did your surgeon give you a nutritional plan to follow?
