MissKat 8 Posted November 13, 2019 Congratulations on starting your pre op ! My surgery is scheduled for 11 December and I’m on pre op as well. Just wondering if your allowed any vegetables with your diet? Normally your allowed this with Optifast . I’m really curious because I’m allowed fruit and cracker biscuits with my shakes . Why do the diets differ so much ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
