PreOp Diet

[cbug123 8]

For my PreOp diet I'm on mostly liquids but can have some veggies and a little meat. I like Water so I have no problem drinking that but my question is what are some other sugar free liquids that I can try?

I obviously drink my milk and Protein shakes and I've tried Popsicles and Gelatin but I'm looking for some new options. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Crystal light, Mios Water drops, etc. Found near the kool-aid. Lots of water flavorings:) broth

I lived on good quality chicken broth made by me. When I got to the pre op diet I seriously would have failed if not for that. I was not allowed anything to eat, just Protein shakes, sf drinks, sf Popsicles and broth. Thank god my diet was only 14 days.

I can remember the first 3 being the hardest and by the time I got to the day before where I could have nothing but Clear Liquids my brain was like mush! LOL

My husband simply didn't get that I seriously had brain fog and I can remember jumping down his throat telling him I was going to remove his food and put him on this liquid diet just to see how long he would last.

Well about 6 months after my surgery my hubby wanted to begin losing weight and his doctor suggested trying the same diet just to rid himself of his sugar/carb addiction. He however could have a 4 oz. piece of chicken and a salad with low fat dressing.

I had to laugh because he literal could not make it through day 1 and apologized about 1000 times for his stupidity when I was on a 14 day liquid only diet.

It is hard to do but if you keep yourself really well hydrated it makes it easier. Honestly....then just take 1 day at a time. Don't think about how much time you have left on the diet. You will be at surgery day before you know it.

Good luck!

For my Pre-op diet, I am only allowed 5 Protein shakes per day or 4 shakes and one broth. Water. Can have 8-12 oz of decaffeinated tea or coffee.

I will be on the same schedule when it finally starts!

I am mostly glad as it will eliminate the "I have options so I will screen it up" factor.

I'm allowed to have 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops. I'm on day 1 and totally hating it. My only hope is that time will pass and I will soon start dropping all this weight

I am on day 4 and it has gotten a lot easier, I still feel really tired and have low energy but the headaches and cravings have all but subsided!
