Pre surgery diet

[lowee17 0]

Is there anything I can eat for the pre surgery diet, like a cheese stick or something? It’s hard to get your food from liquids, I want to actually EAT something.

you'll have to ask your surgeon since their requirements are all different. I wasn't allowed any food for two weeks - just no-cal or very low cal fluids (including broth and V8/tomato juice) and 4-5 Protein Shakes a day.

Try blending your shake with ice. That will make it feel more solid and force you to go slower. Hope you get some better answers than I have.

It seems like the pre-op diet varies by doctor.

Mine is 2 shakes per day plus a low fat meal - low fat meat and vegetables (no carbs).

I am on day 2 - day 1 was bad for me I ate stuff not on my list. Today I ate according to the plan.
