Pre op Diet

[law001 40]

This is ridiculous!!! I don't understand why each dr is so different! There's no possible way that I can survive on liquid for 9 more days!!!

I've eaten my weight in sf Jello today and I'm absolutely starting!!!

Is it that terrible to have a salad w/ Protein for dinner? ??

For whatever your Doc's reason might be, you need to follow his guidelines. You wouldn't want to go into surgery and wake up to find he didn't do the procedure because he felt your liver was still too large or some other issue due to not following his pre-op plan. I have read some posts on here that had that happen.

Just keep cramming more fluids in to fill you up. Eat some SF Popsicles. Try some Protein shakes....they fill you up more. Only 9 more days and you're there. Don't sit around thinking about food. Go out and busy yourself to pass the time faster. As the saying goes........if everybody else can do it.....you can too.

I am on day 7 had hit a brick wall yesterday. I have been taking in Isopure powder shakes no carbs. Called the clinic to learn that my shakes can have carbs if less than 10 grams. I am sure that is why I am a limp dishrag. I bought another brand with less than 10 grams and have had one shake this afternoon. I am hoping this will make a huge difference. Call your docs office and find out your restrictions.
