Good morning all!!!

My doctor put me on a 7 day diet plan (no carbs or sugars) and 2 days before surgery (clear liquids). Anybody else on a similar diet?

My 2 week () pre op diet started today and it's awful. Two protein shakes made with water (yuck!) and a sensible meal of 4 oz. chicken, turkey, or fish, with unlimited green vegetables (there is a list....they are all green, lol) It took me 4 hrs. to drink the first shake, it tasted so bad. So I went back to an egg-white omelette and 2 cups of lettuce for lunch, and the "sensible mean " for dinner. My lunch was actually fewer calories than the protein shake, so I figure it was ok. I'm already 2 lbs. below where I must be for the surgery to occur. Big day is Feb. 8th, BTW.

I have a pre-op diet...3 protein shakes a day for the two weeks before sugery. So, next Wednesday I start them. Honestly, I don't think I will LIKE it, but...it almost seems appealing to not have to think about what to eat or shop. Can't wait for my surgery on Feb 15th!

My pre-op diet is 2 weeks prior to surgery, 5 Protein Shakes made with Water a day...thats it. I agree with Kristen, I am kinda excited to not think about what to make and plan for meals for the next two weeks. I start on Monday. The shakes are pricey, but I am determined to follow everything the doctors give me!

Have a good one!

Well....I gotta a good deal then. I wasn't told about shakes...soooooo...I will pretend like I didn't see ya'll comments!!! LOL!! **YUCK**

I'm on Atkins for 2 weeks prior... No carbs or sugars... Then clear liquids for 2 days before surgery

Well...here I am on day 6 and the protein shakes aren't too bad...but I am sick of them! I am not hungry...but need some flavor. So...I have my strawberry lemonade crystal light...I am practicing sipping

I start the pre-op diet tomorrow. 3 shakes and jello, popcicles, broth. how is everyone doing?

I kind of lucked out and was told i did not need to go on a pre-op diet because of where my BMI was at. I did try to do it a few times just to say i can and i failed so i have a lot of respect for you guys on it and keeping too it!
