jhbeck 29 Posted January 21, 2016 My dr does a 2 week pre op diet. 2 Meal Replacement shakes a day. 1 dairy snsck-Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. 2-3 cups vegetables and 3-4 ounces lean Protein, that can be split into 2 meals if desired. At the surgery class I think they said 1 hard boiled egg counts as 1 oz Protein. Does this sound right? I bought a 2-pack of eggs at wawa this morning and it was 3 oz total. Thanks.

2goldengirl 2,076 Posted January 21, 2016 In terms of grams of Protein, 1 large egg is the same 7 gm of Protein as 1 oz of lean meat. Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhbeck 29 Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks! Next question-spinach. Do I measure by volume? Pack it into a measuring cup? Can I measure by weight? Jess, mom to Ysabel, 6 and Maggie, 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jess, mom to Ysabel, 6 and Maggie, 3 Since it is 2-3 cups of vegetables then you would measure by volume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhbeck 29 Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks. I got smart. The package said a serving size was 2 cups and had 2 servings. I was able to use the food scale to get half and not make more dirty dishes! Jess, mom to Ysabel, 6 and Maggie, 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
