Hello all...I have my surgery a week from today.  I am excited but scared too.  I go Wednesday for my pre-op testing.  I have started my "Cabbage Soup" diet this week.  It doesn't taste too bad but not sure I will be able to eat it all week.  Any suggestions on what I can add to it to change the taste.  My diet is as follows:
Day #1 - Cabbage soup and all the fruit you want, except bananas
Day #2 - Cabbage soup and all the vegetables you want, baked potato and butter for dinner
Day #3 - Cabbage soup and combine day #1 and 2 but no potato
Day #4 - Cabbage soup and up to 6 bananas and all the skim milk you want
Day #5 - Cabbage soup and 10-20 ounces of beef, can of tomatoes and 6-8 glasses of water
Day #6 - Cabbage soup and all the vegetables you want
Day #7 - Cabbage soup and brown rice and unsweetened fruit juice

On day #4 I am going to make a smoothie because I know I will not be able to eat 6 bananas.  Any help will be appreciated.

Is this diet something your doc recommended?  I've never heard of it.

Yes it is what he recommended the week before surgery.  He says it is supposed to "shrink my liver" to make more room for them to manipulate inside my abdomen.  I personally think it is just to "clean me out."  LOL

 Lol as horrible as all that cabbage may sound to you...you are actually pretty lucky. Most people have to go on a liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgery. I was very lucky too. I was able to eat normally until two days before my surgery...then it was all liquids.  Enjoy :)

That is a new one to me as well - never saw that before. But I did that cabbage soup diet back in the day and I actually loved it. Good Luck and you will definitely clean out for sure.
