Feeling Lucky (Pre-op Diet)



Recommended Posts

Last week the nutritionist gave me pre-op instructions. This is the part I always least looked forward to, because taste and texture are such an important part of eating for me. Thankfully, all categories offer tasty and/or textured options:

  • 2 bottled Protein Shakes --> Slim-Fast 3-2-1! So tasty.
  • 3 servings of dairy --> light yogurt and cottage cheese.< /li>
  • special permission --> 2 cups of egg drop soup/eggwhites in broth. (Don't be afraid to ask! I wanted something warm with texture.)
  • unlimited --> flavored water/diet pop/SF Jello & popsicles/plain broth

I can totally deal with that for two weeks. Easy peasy.

Diabetics with low blood sugar get to eat chicken noodle Soup on their pre-op diet, but I'm trying not to be too jealous. :^)

ferfur - Haven't officially started it yet but did try for one day. Yes, there was some fatigue, but I guess that's the price we pay, right? Hope it goes well for you. Keep us updated.

marfar7 - You...you...rascal..... (moving on) I'm not really a fan of carbonated drinks (usually wait for them to go half-flat) but figure it will help entertain my mouth and throat in the absence of substantial food.< /p>

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
