2 week Preop Diet Advice?

I am on day 4 of my 2 week pre op and have stayed on plan.. My 2 week consists of Veggies and 3 oz of meat 2 times a day and 3 shakes which isn't that bad.. I am used to having 3 healthy meals a day with snacks the past 6 months and lost good weight.. However, On this pre op diet, HOLY SMOKES.. The first 3 days were torture... Wow what the mind does.. ahahah.. Even though I have been eating healthy for a while and pretty content, It was terrible.. With that said I think I climbed the uphill battle because today I am suprisingly calm and I have 3 atkins shakes and a veggie meal... I think I will beat this thing :)  With that said, On my plan I can't have caffeine, soda, coffee, anything like that.. It really doesn't specify a list of things acceptable... Here are my questions:

1. Should I be able to have sugar free Jello?

2. Can I have Decaf tea IE  Blueberry, Dandelion, herbal etc etc?? I heard Dandelion tea is a good liver cleanse.. I may want to pick some up

3. Last but not least, Can I have sugar free pudding??

My pre-op plan allowed decaf tea, sf pudding and jello.  That being said all Drs. And programs are different, do you have someone at the doctors office to ask?

good luck!

I will ask tomorrow!!  and Thanks!

I second the "ask your doctor's office" idea. 

My *guess* would be yes for the sugar free jello (virtually no kcal), yes on the decaf tea, and no on the sugar free pudding (kcal).  But that's just a guess.  Your doctor's office would be able to give you the official yay or nay.  Good luck!
