Unfortunately, I cannot help you as I did not have a pre-op diet.  But, did your doc give you any information?  I would follow that as best as possible. Good luck and know that what you are going through is temporary..

You can start your protein now & it will help with your healing after surgery.  Go ahead and do some shakes.  Keep trying the instant breakfast stuff.  The first few days is the hardest but it does get a bit easier.  You can do it.

thanks you two :) i had an appt. with my dr. this morning so i asked to be sure and he said the unjury is for after surgery. right now i can only have one protein shake or however i have it @ 20 gr per day and the rest sugar free low fat liquids.  so after i got home i made some sugar free jello for later and the crystal lite and i'm having a diet peach snapple right now. he said i should lose 10 lbs by surgery next thursday and he wouldn't be surprised if it's 12#. he has all the faith in the world that i can do it too. i'm going to be trying like heck to get 'er done between now and sept. 6th.

Low Salt Chicken Broth  Low Salt Beef Broth  Believe it or  not these will help to curb your want for meats or proteins . And they are warm and comforting .  Try doing some sugar free jello or sugar free puddings .  You can do anything you set your mind to .And remember , along with the liquid diet , some exercise will speed it along . Walking - Swimming - rubber banding.  If there is anything else ... let us know . Take good care .. and just keep doing it .. you will get there   Tink

i had a sugarfree pudding and a sugarfree popcicle  and it helped too. i've gone for longer walks today, cut the grass, vaccumed the house, tried to stay busy...  i made sugarfree jello for later and i'm going to get some of that lowfat broth! comforting sounds wonderful right about now! (((((tink))))) thank you!!
