Pre-Op Diet Question

[sillygirlmi 8]

I am on the 2 week liquid diet, but nobody ever said how much I could have! Is there a limit? Or just what I want? I know I need my 60 grams of Protein and they said the limit on sugar and fat, but, can I drink all the bullion I want? All the sugar free pudding? That sugar free pudding is good! I could eat a lot of that!

I wasn't allowed pudding. Just SF Jello. But on the other stuff.. Yes. All the crystal light, broth, Water, and sf jello, and sf Popsicle you need. Like I said, the sf pudding... I don't know.

I was allowed three 8 oz Protein Shakes a day, plus one of each of the following: sugar free Jello, 6 oz low-fat and no sugar added yogurt OR 4 oz fat free cottage cheese, 3 ounces of fruit or sugar free applesauce. The nutritionist told me I could have one extra Protein Shake if I was really hungry. Plus all the Water, crystal lite or other non-sweetened, non-caffinated beverages I wanted. It was pretty strict, but I lost 15 pounds over the two weeks!

I think it's so weird that this wasn't spelled out for you, call your docs again tomorrow. I was allowed 3 Protein Shakes a day sf Jello or sf popsicles and crystal light - period. no solid foods.
