Help!

[janedoe92 260]

So I'm about a week (come Monday) into my preop diet, which my surgeon has us do two meals between 250-350 cals and Protein shake for Breakfast then Fiber if we're hungry still, and the second week is one meal two shakes.

I'm over the hump of physical hunger, and not really having head hunger either. The problem I'm running into is not getting enough calories. I'm supposed to get between 1000-1200, i no longer want to eat or feel hungry and I have only ate 500 calories, so I force myself to drink another Protein Drink before bed, BUT I'm drinking premier and that offers only 160 cals, so I'm only making between 600-750 calories for the last two days. Seeing as I'm not hungry and don't finish my meals most the time it's possible it is less then that.

SOOOO what I'm asking for is those of you on all liquid diet if you could give me some things that y'all are allowed so that I am able to incorporate that in my plan and get the recommended calories that'd be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

I might not be of any help because I didn't go through a liquid pre-op diet. It was something I went through post-op.

But I would think milk or hot cocoa (no sugar added powder) would be acceptable. They should have good Protein.

One thing I really enjoyed pre-surgery was a berry smoothie. I included the recipe at the end of the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf
