day 8 of liquid... I want a steak
I am on day 8 of my pre surgery liquid diet.
I stay full/satisfied on the shakes, actually usually am -1 shake for the day out of my allowable amount.
today though I am really wanting steak! I was told I could have some all protein "snacks" if I felt I needed to eat or was starving on the shakes.
Should I get a steak and have a small amount? or just stick with the protein? Surgery is March 1st
I'm not sure steak counts as a snack, I would abstain from anything that could compromise your surgery. You would hate to get cut on and then the DR decide against it because your liver is is too large.

I was allowed one meal a day of protein and veggies on my liquid diet. Steak was not excluded. If the Doc said you could have it you aren't compromising anything. Give it a day and see how you feel.

I was allowed 1 meal a day and 4-5 shakes. 4oz Lean proteins + veggies. No sugar. No starches.
Until 2 days before surgery.
I had lean steak, salads, or cooked non starchy veggies. Not a lot.. Just enough to survive the diet.
