A week from today
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.

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.
