2 week liquid diet starts today!

[arc320 8]

Hey Everyone! With a surgery scheduled for 1/17, I am starting my 2-week Pre-OP liquid diet today. I am allowed no solids, and with the exception of unlimited sugar free liquids and Jello and broth, I can only have 1 egg, 1/2 cup ricotta cheese and 1 cup of yogurt daily. Any suggestions or words of wisdom to add variety into the next two week?!

I assume its three shakes plus the foods you have mentioned in your post?

You could try make a fairly basic ricotta bake adapting to the egg and ricotta cheese amounts you are able to have.

When I was on my pre-op diet which allowed only three shakes and low carb vegetables, a few times if I needed something different I would have cottage cheese or chicken in place of the shake but made sure it was to the same calorie count or Protein amount as the shake. I would have the low carb veges with it. It wasn't the right thing to do, and I certainly don't want to encourage you to do it, but it did save my sanity and kept me on track for some of the time, unfortunately I wasn't the best pre-op person, thankfully I am much better at post op haha

You have the same date as me but I am revising from band to bypass. This time around I haven’t got to do the liquid diet, I have just been told to stick with “ clean” eating.
