Pre-op diet ideas?

[NewStart 2017 2]

Does anyone have any pre-op diet advice? I am starting my 2 week pre-op and looking for ideas on food choices.

Each surgeon is different. Did your surgeon's office provide you pre-op diet he or she wanted to to follow. Pre-op diets vary quite a bit surgeon to surgeon. I have 1 week liquid diet which includes 4 shakes a day first one within 1 hour of awakening. Sf popsicles, sf pudding, broth, diet none carbonated juice or flavored water is allowed. Stick to what your surgeons protocol. When's your surgery?

I just kept telling myself, "I can do anything for two weeks". I can do anything for 10 days... etc...." it's much more of a head game than anything else, but it gives you the momentum to carry you through postop.

PS- I wouldn't weigh yourself too much, as you shouldn't be focused on results as much as dedication to the program. The results will come if you follow the program, just look at all the pre/post updates for those who follow their program.
Everyone who doesn't follow, disappeares.

You are making a huge decision to change your life, you can do this! Keep the faith and respect the process

The first few days, you may feel pretty awful (headaches, lethargic, lightheaded). But...it's temporary, I promise. Once you get over that hump, it gets easier. Just stick with the diet your surgeon requires. As previously stated, our diets wildly vary from surgeon to surgeon. I wasn't put on an all liquid diet but others were. Mine consisted of 3 Protein Shakes a day, a small salad, 4 oz of lean Protein of my choice, and non- starchy vegetables. The goal was to stay below 50 g of carbs and 1200 calories a day for two weeks. You'll read about some people who weren't placed on a diet at all (lucky them [emoji4]).
