Pre op Menu

[Timothy Gibson 2]

Looking for help with the pre op menu I just started my two week yesterday and I am not really sure what is allowed and what is not.

Please help

thanks

Timothy, surgeons' instructions vary considerably about what is permitted on the pre-op diet and the length of the pre-op diet.

You shouldn't be distracted by what "everyone else" is eating.

What do your surgeon's written instructions say you should (and shouldn't) eat during this time?

*AM coffee

8oz skim milk

4oz juice (apple orange or grapefruit)

6oz - 8oz gatorade or Powerade

My doctor only requires a one week diet. So I will not have his official diet until next week. I have chosen to do a two week to help prepare my self.

Thanks for the menu

I was doing shakes and drinks during the day and one salad at night with Protein.

My surgeon requires a two week pre op diet of 3 Protein shakes a day (80 grams daily) and a under 300 calorie meal. I just use the Weight Watchers frozen meals to make it easier.
