Losingit2018 1,170 Posted April 13, 2018 Did your dietician give you a list of foods to eat? Walden Farms makes some great dressings and sauces that are zero calorie. They really helped to get me through my pre op diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KimTriesRNY 1,853 Posted April 13, 2018 You didn’t really specify what your pre op diet is so your responses may not be very helpful. Pre op diets are extremely varied. Some of us were on two weeks of liquids, some of us were allowed raw vegetables, some of us were allowed one low calorie but high Protein meal per day with Protein Shakes. Some people only had two days of a liquid diet pre op. You may get more responses/ideas if you specify what exactly you are allowed to eat on your own pre op diet.

I’m allowed a shake in the morning, an apple for a snack, then lunch a shake and small salad with balsamic vinegar or equivalent, dinner I’m allowed 4 oz of lean protien and as many non starchy vegetables, also it says I’m able to have 1/4 cup of brown rice.. then another shake in the evening. Sorry I didn’t specify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsTipps 314 Posted April 13, 2018 I found white fish like cod with a squeeze of lemon instead of sauce with a side of salad or cooked veg went down well and I felt satisfied x 1 JustinH reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
