PRE OP DIET

Hello, I am on the slimfast for a preop diet and I am noticing that it upsets my stomach and today is just the third day and I am starving at lunch time.  I have been getting to eat a high protein meal at dinner but man today has been so hard. 

What about doing the atkins diet or something.....any ideas?  I am not a milk person or milkshake person so this is hard for me....

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I am just switching to the milkshake thing. I have tried the protein thing, the low carb thing and every other god forsaken thing.. UGHHHHHHHHHH!

Hope you find something that works for you!!

Just grin and bear it as it is not for long.  This pre op was the most difficult stage for me.  Just make sure that you drink lots of water, herbal teas, low cal diet drinks (Cola was my godsend)
my pre op was a low fat low sugar diet so no protein shakes lots of fresh veg quite restrictive but hard.
You will be fine promise!!!

did your doc suggest slimfast? I know some doc's won't suggest it because of the sugars in it. I would suggest buying muscle milk light (vanilla) and making a smoothie with it! Mmmmm so good, it was def a life saver when I was on liquids

I am on day 3 of a two week prepop also.  The guidlines I have allow the adkins advantage shakes.  I am not picky when it comes to taste so they are not bad tasting for me.  Maybe they will work for you.  I am also able to have a meal at dinner time and suplement in between with sugar free jello gelatin or broth.  maybe you can try that.

Thanks guys.  i am going to try some broth this week and weekend.  I ordered some samples from unjury.  has anyone tried that?  I have my upper gi tomorrow...gaggg.....LOL  then I go see Miranda Lambert tomorrow night....yea!!  Then after the weekend, one more week left.  Time is dragging.  thanks again....good night ya'll.
