pre op yikes!

Today I start my preop all liquid diet and im freaking out! Not sure why, lol. What are some good choices for the full luquid portion? (not clear liquid yet)

Did the surgeon not give you a list of what you could have?  Most folks just go for a protein shake fast.

Hi Autumn . . .

All I had was water, and chicken broth . . . .

Did you get a diet plan from the surgeon?  My pre-op was 2 weeks, it consisted of 3 protein shakes daily, they couldn't be above 150 calories each, and they had to be more than 15g of protein each.  I could have 1 light meal for dinner (a lean cusine, or 3 oz lean meat and small veggie serving), also 64oz of water per day, at least.  I will admit, I had a hard time, and would pick on chicken breast during the day whenever I felt like I needed to; not a ton, just an ounce or two here or there.  The day before surgery it was only protein shakes (4 of them) and liquids, nothing else.

Good luck!

 

Mine was very similar:  three protein shakes (Unjury Chicken Soup saved my sanity) and then a small meal consisting of 4oz lean chicken, fish, turkey or tofu; 1c  non-starchy vegs (I had raw baby spinach almost every day); 1/2c whole grain starch (brown rice, quinoa or sweet potato).  Day before was clear liquids (including protein shakes) when and as I desired until midnight.

I start mine on Thursday. My surgeon uses Optifast, three shakes minimum and I am choosing 2 bars. Five meals per day, plus I can have sf jello and a half cup of cucumbers per day. All the water or sf drinks also.
