h@rt*s mommy 1 Posted August 28, 2008 Hello, I am having surgery on the 24th of next month, and my surgeon is asking me to do a 3 week milk diet. Has anyone had to do this before, AND have you fallen off the wagon in those 3 weeks. For those of you that DONT know about that diet, its basically all I can drink is skim milk, 3 times a day, as much as I can in 5 minutes. I can drink Water as well, and crystal light, but thats it. And my Vitamins also. Im worried about falling off the wagon simply because next month, about 10 days after I start, I am heading to my high school reunion. I am discipling myself right now to be prepared for it, but with the drinking, and the eating with friends, Im worried I will fall off the wagon. Any advice on that? ALSO, Can anyone tell me what YOU ate after surgery. I hear Protein Shakes, yogurt, broth, those things are acceptable, just wanting to get a feel for what life was like for all of you weeks after your surgery. Thanks in advance!

kaninag 35 Posted September 3, 2008 Honestly, I didnt have to do any presurgery diet except for nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before but every doc is different. Good luck with that one. The day after surgery all I drank was water...then it was sugar free koolaid with Protein mix added and anything else that could classify as a liquid.....I did a lot of yogurt shakes and added flavor free protein mix to EVERYTHING!! YOU CAN MAKE IT THRU!!!!!!!!! When its over you'll be thankful that you followed your docs instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
