Preop diet:: already exceeded the protien goal

Hi All,

Today is day one of the preop diet. I just checked my food journal (MyFitnessPal) and I notice that I am already over my protein goal at 81 but I still have 130 calories left! I would really like a snack but every snacl snack food in the house will also increase calories. I am not sure what should I do?

What is your plan? Did your surgeon require a specific type of meals at specific times, just protein, protein and calories. Most pre op plans give a range of calories (maybe 600-800 or 800-1000). Getting extra protein isn't harmful. Check your surgeon's requirements.

Plan says: protein 60-80, calories 950-1050. I am currently at 81g prot and 880 calories so I could have a yogurt and still be under the cals.

How about some cheese? I like the polly-o string cheese, really handy in a pinch & only about 70 calories.
