Help me clairfy something on my pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

I'm going to call my Dr. tomorrow and clarify this but I would like your opinions.

My pre-op diet instructions say:

1cup of milk (skim, 1%, lactaid or 2%) or 8 oz Yogurt (Dannon light, Yoplait Light or Colombo Light) or 1/2 cup cottage cheese- 3 or less each day
Reading that does it look like I can have any 3 of those on the list, either 3 cups of milk OR 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of CC, and 1 yogurt OR 1 1/2 cup of CC?

Or does it look like I can on have just one of the items, 1 cup of milk or 1 yogurt or a 1/2 cup of CC?

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Each of those items listed is considered one serving, and it's saying you can have 3 servings or less per day...

So essentially, you can have 1c of skim milk and 2 8oz yogurts today. Tomorrow you could have 2c of skim milk and 1/2c of cottage cheese.

Does that make sense?

Yes it does. Thank you. That's what I've been doing except I've been eating the cottage cheese instead of yogurt because I don't really like yogurt. And the cottage cheese has been helping with keeping me from getting the empty feeling from not having solid foods while on the diet.

Yes, good thinking! Cottage cheese has much more Protein than yogurt does, so it helps you stay full for longer. It seems a bit thicker too, so that helps keep you full also. Good luck on your journey! :laugh:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
