Can you stall on a pre-op diet? I’ve been on it for 2 weeks and have another 2 weeks to go.

@macadamia ohhh that’s actually a really good idea! Thank you!

I guess I wonder if it’d be okay to cheat on my diet if I had plain scrambled eggs a couple of times a week?? I mean of course it’s not okay to cheat but if I did at least it’d be healthy?

Ugh yes and all the flavor is correct!

I’m self pay. Mine is $14,900. Also have to buy their pre-op diet food which is $98/week. I didn’t have to do a sleep study or really any other testing. I did get an endoscope done since my insurance covered it. You’re pcp can do the lab work or if you need any other labs done for wherever you go, you can usually go to your own lab if insurance will cover that as well. I’m getting my surgery done at JourneyLite in Cincinnati. :)

Does anyone know why we can’t have egg yokes in pre-op diet? I am allowed egg whites but obviously not as good haha. All I can find on google is possibly they effect cholesterol.
