So my nutritionist canceled my appointment to discuss my two week pre-op diet I'm scheduled to start tomorrow..

There are quite a few variations on the pre-op diet, but it's important that your nutritionist gives you the diet that your surgeon wants.

I suggest calling the nutritionist and also checking their website (if they have one). My pre-op diet (which I'm on day 10 of) is posted, but I also went over it in detail and my nutritionist allowed some variance for my situation.

Some pre-op diets are more restrictive than others, but typically 1,000 calories per day or less, 2-5 Protein shakes a day, low carb, low fat. Some allow a small meal with Protein and night...again low fat, low carb. Most seem to allow Clear liquids (broth, tea, Decaf coffee, jello) between shakes.< /p>

But really important that you talk with your nutritionist.
