Sugar free popscicles!!

I'm going into week 3 of no starches (we go 3 weeks before surgery with my doc) and leave for a cruise tomorrow!!! no drinking and no starches will test my willpower...and I'm vegan so my food choices will be limited

July 24th here!

I LOVE this idea!! I'm going to take pictures with the same outfit on!!

Does anyone drink Protein water as part of your water intake? I drink it now (I'm a vegan so protein is a must for me while pre-op preparing and on starch free before surgery). I'm feeling like this is a no brainer way to get protein and water in...am I missing something?

Try Protein Water!! I found Protein20 is a great one with 15 g of protein, 0 g sugar and 60 calories. It's really helping me and is quite tasty. I found it on Amazon.

Talk to me about seeds...pumpkin seeds? sunflower seeds? Are these ok when on no starch?

My doc only requires 2 days of clear liquids pre-surgery but 3 weeks of no starches....I'm a dietary Vegan so it's challenging. I'm on day 1 of no starches

Hi all!! I am a July sleever!! My date is the 24th. I'm finished all my appointments and just need to do my pre-op.

I had a urine test for nicotine and was told to wait 4 weeks to test after the last time I smoked. Good luck!

Hello!! I'd love any and/or all of these items!!! It's really kind of you to offer!! I'm preparing for surgery now, I have my final appt. next week. If you still have it, I'd love to take it off your hand and would be happy to pay for shipping

Teacher here!! I'm waiting on my final appointment with my doc to schedule surgery right now.

Hi, I'm searching for non-dairy protein bars and can't find any with this brand. Any other ideas?

Hello, I am trying to prepare for surgery and am having trouble finding protein powders that are non-dairy and include isolates, which my nutritionist recommends. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I do not eat meat or dairy and have been concerned about this since starting the process.. I"m really going ot have to change what I'm eating after surgery, I've been told not to eat many starches at all, which includes beans I have found non-dairy protein shakes and bars but don't want to only eat this for the rest of my life lol

Thanks for sharing great ideas!!

I feel very fortunate to only have 2 days of liquid diet for pre-op....3 weeks of no starches, though. Hang in there!!

I'm in the same boat as you...quit smoking at my first appointment and just had my nicotine test 8 weeks later...I'm cleared with everything else and just waiting...

I just received clearance from nutritionist on Tuesday and waiting on my final one on one with the doctor for the date!

Wow!! I'd love for this to happen!

My doctor and nutritionist said we could take pill form vitamins day 1.

My nutritionist says to decrease starches post surgery, which is mainly what I eat as a vegan

I am very interested in reading your post. I am a non-dairy/no meat eater so I'm trying to plan best for post-surgery. It's hard without beans and rice, etc.

I'm so excited to read your posts!! I am a non-dairy vegetarian and have been worried about protein consumption post-surgery. Now I get most from beans, quinoa, rice, and veggies. I have been searching for Protein powders that fit the nutritional guidance given by my nutritionist and it's tricky. What can you share about isolates?
