Imready2015 2 Posted December 9, 2015 Preop not gonna be fun...trying to think of this time and the rest of my life as food is merely sustanence and not as fun or rewarding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imready2015 2 Posted December 11, 2015 Ok...just starting Day 1 of my preop diet. How restrictive are your diets? I can have as many Protein Shakes as I want. I am allowed boneless skinless chicken and turkey, Water packed tuna., broth, sugar free Popsicles and Jello and of course crystal light, Powerade zero, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barbara Stuart 2 Posted December 12, 2015 First time but have read a lot post so helpful. Thanks everyone. Surgery date 12/22/15. 2 week pre-op 30-40 carbs. Amazing how quickly I can use those up. Also stopped coffee, first day was tough. I'm ok but that is what I have missed the most. Did not want to go through withdrawal at same time of my surgery. I am 67 so I'm feeling a little nervous about the recovery. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
