Hi there! Yes, I have a small list of foods I can have (about 5 different things) once a day, but I also have to take 5 protein shakes a day for 2 weeks and this is on top of the 64 oz of liquid. Most of the ones I have seen here do not require 5 shakes a day that I have seen I don't think. I think it is so weird that we all have very different pre-op diets. But yeah, no matter what kind of pre-op diet we have to be on, it kinda sucks lol. I still think we are lucky though for what we are going to have in the end.
Yes, I am a doxie mom. I have three dachshunds, all black and tan dapples (1 senior, 2 brothers, varying degrees of dapple), all mini (tweenie actually) smooths. I also work at a dachshund rescue. I am the crazy doxie lady lol. Nice to meet both a fellow newbie here and fellow dachshund mom.
Good luck on your surgery!
