Pre Surgery low carb diet

Help please!

I have booked my surgery for Wednesday 7 December - very scared and have started the low carb diet but it seams impossible to only consume 70grams of carbs per day. Does anyone have any suggestions or can offer advise on types of foods/ meal plans etc.

Also why is a low carb diet so important 2 weeks out from surgery?

Thanks so much

Hey, I am on the pre-op phase also. I am required to have 2 weeks of liquids with 70 grams protein and low carbs up to 80 grams. This is what I have been doing
Breakfast : Protein shake (your choice)
11:00- Sugar free Jello
2 Pm- Protein shake
4 Pm Broth or clear soup
7 pm Protein shake and 1 cup soup  (  I get hungry at night)
9 Pm sugar free Ice pop

Lots of water in between and More Jello if still hungry.
The reason behind the diet is to shrink your liver before surgery, so that you stomach is easier to work around.. Good Luck you can to this :) Today has been so much easier day 5

Yes, it is possible but not easy.  In fact, I think it's one of the hardest parts of the whole process.  But you CAN do it.  The idea is to shrink your liver as small as possible to make it easier for the surgeon to work on you.  Stick to as closely as you can, and you will benefit.  Don't be scared; be excited!  You are in for the best gift you can ever give yourself!  Make up your mind NOW to follow the guidelines.  This is just the first step of many.  If your head is into it, you can do all of it with few problems.

Thanks so much

 you can also add creamed soups, yogurt high protein low fat, my doc said cottage cheese,  i drank v-8 and fell in love with SF/FF pudding. You will be fine, this is the hardest part!
