Pre OP liquid diet

Depends on your surgical team. They should give you a copy of your plan. If you wish to know now contact them for a copy.

There are as many plans as there are offices.

I was given a copy as well of everything that is required during the pre op phase.

Who is your surgeon in Texas?

Yeah, it's going to be completely dependent upon your surgical team's requirements. Some people don't have a pre-op diet at all. Some people have a liquid only diet (protein shakes). Some people are allowed real, high Protein foods. Some people are Protein Shakes most of the time, but one Smart Ones or Lean Cuisine meal a day. The plans are really all over the place, so no one will be able to answer this question for you.

Thanks everyone i see the surgeon January 7, 2016 i obviously had an idea that its different for everyone but i probably didn't ask the proper way , i just wanted an idea on what is it that it consists of. But thanks i guess I'm at the same spot and will find out on my own ????✌????️

Your plan will probably be different, but mine was:

• 3 Protein shakes a day (I was provided specific nutritional guidelines for the shakes)
• 1 green salad with calorie free dressing (I was provided a list of veggies I could include in the salad)
• Unlimited sugar free Jello and Popsicles
• Occasionally allowed chicken broth or minestrone Soup, but not every day

This is something you need to ask your NUT. I didn't have a liquid diet for pre-op. Mine was high Protein, low-carb (with absolutely NO starches).

Each surgeon is different.

Mine includes, Jello, pudding, yogurt, applesauce and veggies

Besides following your specific plan , stock up on SF Popsicles. These were a lifesaver for me the first few days of the liquid diet which for me were the toughest.

Thank you all this is exactly what my post was about i wanted an idea of the different ways it goes thank you all so much ????

Mine was a choice of either 4+1 or 3+2 Protein Shakes to small meal combos. My meals were 4 oz of lean Protein and some non starchy vegetables. Good luck to you!
