CrownedSleeve 5 Posted October 11, 2013 I'm 2days into my preOp diet.... Is it safe to eat goldfish? I need something salty that's not a liquid. Any suggestions? I feel myself hungry after the shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted October 11, 2013 What were your directions from your medical team? Most pre-op diets want you to avoid carbs as the point is to shrink your liver. Goldfish are going to be very high in carbs, so, I would guess that they would be way off the menu. I was also told that if I was ever hungry during pre-op diet, to have another shake. I would consume 5 or 6 a day the first few days. Just know that after about 4 days, my body found it's groove and it got easier. Just try to stick tight to your pre-op guidelines. They are there for a reason. It is also good training for post-op life. Good luck. When is your surgery date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Monday after next. So my PreOp is very short. I should be thankful lol Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
