Pre-op diet starts today!

[Melinco 1]

Today starts the first day of my 10 day pre-op diet. My surgeon has prescribed a high Protein, low carb (less than 30 grams) of solid food. My surgery is on December 17.

Breakfast and lunch should be pretty easy. My breakfasts consist of 1 hard boiled egg, 1 Frigo cheese head string cheese light, and 1 container of Kroger CarbMaster yogurt. Total carbs 8 grams, total protein 24 grams.

Lunch today will be pork loin, baby greens salad with cucumber and Litehouse bleu cheese dressing, and a sugar free Jello. Total carbs 6 grams, total protein 57 grams.

For dinner tonight, I want to try to incorporate some additional vegetables, while keeping total carb count under 30 grams for the day. Does anyone have some suggestions? Carrots, potatoes, green Beans are out.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I did the Atkin's diet once upon a time and the veggie I ate the most was Cauliflour. There's so much you can do with it. There are tons of recipies on how to make faux mashed potatos with cauliflour.

Good Luck!!
