Good luck! Do you suppose anyone else finds it weird how many different sets of preop and postop instructions there are out there? Like, you say you have a 1 week liquid diet. My surgeon wants a 2 week liquid diet, with one small meal a day allowed. I've seen people on here who only had to do liquids for a couple days before. It's so varied, it's wild to me lol.

This is the stage I'm dreading the most. I can not stand the idea of pureed meats (I work in a nursing home, so I've seen what pureed meats look like, can't do it), so I'm struggling with ideas to meet my protein intake. I don't like canned tuna at all. I like refried beans, so that's doable. I also like eggs almost anyway you cook them. But I'm stumped for other ideas.

Hello, Im new to this group, just joined today. My surgery is set for May 11. I start my two-week preop diet on April 27. Im nervous and excited, but mostly ready to get this journey underway and get healthy again!!
