tpimpette1 8 Posted March 20, 2013 Any recommendations on what to eat before surgery? HELP!?!? high Protein low sugar foods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathaly 57 Posted March 20, 2013 Your surgeon should have given you specific instructions on what to eat. At least two days before you must be on Clear liquids (chicken or beef broth, sugar free Jello, Popsicles, and crystal light). Before that start on what you will be eating six months after surgery. Focusing mainly on Protein (my goal is 80 grams) and nothing with more than 6grams of sugar unless its from a natural food like fruit, vegetables, or dairy. Good luck! When's your surgery? HW 283.

nathaly 57 Posted March 20, 2013 Mine is on Friday! I'm in the liquid phase now. But my surgeon had me do a meal supplement called Optifast for two weeks before surgery! It's been kicking my butt! HW 283. SW tbd 3/22/13! CW 265 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
