Pre-Op Diet

Okay so....I go on my liquid diet on Monday!!! I know everyone is different and every surgeon suggests something different. I'm just looking for meal ideas. I am going to OSU Wexner Medical Center. My diet will consist of:

Breakfast: Protein Shake

Snack: Fruit

Lunch: Salad w/light dressing and Protein shake

Snack: Fruit or Vegetable

Dinner: Meal 250 Calorie or less

Is this consistent with everyone else's liver shrink diet?

 

is this consistent 

You're lucky... I had to do two weeks of "full liquids" - meaning I could only have shakes, broth, jello, pudding, and water!

Nikke, you are the first person i read about before I looked to surgery so i have to say youre on of my inspirations! Thank you !

My pre-op diet is the same as Nikke's. I start on Tuesday and it is liquid only.

I think its weird how there are so many different types of diets for the liver shrink... I wonder why that is?

Just started my pre op diet today. Mine is 3 protein shakes a day and then a lean cuisine/smart one for dinner.. Nothing else no juice ,no milk ,no diet soda.. Water and shakes to drink that's it  :( 

 

Here is the link for our liver shrink diet

I would kill to be on your preop instead of mine!! 

i think im going to take out the 250 cal or less and just do chicken broth w/egg drops (egg drop soup less the sodium) and chicken breast that way its only about 150 calories

 

My Pre-Op diet is 4 weeks.  3 Optifast shakes per day, with one sensible meal.
