I just want to say thank you to everyone who supported me the other day with my pre op diet. Still on it and it HAS gotten easier - with that being said it still sucks
LisaV_SG posted a discussion topic 7 years, 4 months ago
alright so here's my pre op diet: 3-4 protein shakes a day + unsweetened applesauce, sugar free pudding, sugar free jello, plain grits, plain oatmeal, broth, non starchy steamed or raw veggies (I hate veggies tho). I don't like half of that stuff so I'
