pre surgery diet

Can someone tell me what the typical pre surgery diet is?

I think that you'll find that depending on your surgeon it will be different for many people. I was on a low carb, high protein diet for a week before my surgery.  I had to drink 2 High protein drinks each day and could also have, cottage cheese, orange juice, carnation instant breakfasts and skim milk.  Was not fun. However, many folks have to go on straight liquids for up to 2 weeks so I was luckier than most.

Like Ronna said, you are going to find a lot of different answers.  I was on a 10 day liquid diet. Talk to your surgeon or nutritionist. Christina
