Starting the Pre-Op Diet Soon

Hi Candie! I start my liquid diet on May 7, two weeks before surgery, on the 21st. Dr. Alley has very specific requirements but everyone of his patients, regardless of procedure does two weeks. I have stocked up on shakes and protein powders, broth, etc.. He does not allow "chunks" of any kind, not even fruit on the bottom yogurts. It is going to be tough but I am ready!!! Good luck to you!! Will be looking to see you are all done and recovering

Thanks Tracy!

Yea I start my diet on May 3rd. I am going to have my last supper tonight. It's going to be baaaad, but so good! LOL

As part of my program they stocked me all up on Protein shakes. So I will have one for lunch and one for breakfast. A protein bar for a snack, and I get to have a half cup of fruit. For dinner I get to have 3-4 oz of lean meat and lots of veggies.

I heard that the 2 weeks before surgery are the worst, so good luck to us both!!!

Keep in touch, and let me know how its going!

Okay, have to admit I am a bit envious that you get to have chewables with your pre-op diet, lol!! I will have to freeze flavored ice cubes and crunch them I intend to consume a "last supper" myself!!!! Hahahahahah

I start my pre-op on Wed. It's basically an atkins diet. Surgery is on the 16th !!!
