Well today was the first day of my seven day pre-op, full-liquid diet. It went pretty well, I was off work today (it's my weekend). I had a protein shake for breakfast, Greek yogurt for snack, for lunch the unjury chicken soup (yummy) and a sugar free popsicle. For Dinner tomato soup and another s.f. popsicle. I also had 4 cups of decaf, hot mint tea along with about 34 oz of water. Total of about 74oz of water, 80 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat and 621 calories. Praying day two goes just as well:-)

I am soooo jealous, I start Sunday and it is 4 shakes a day, 1 serving of veggies, 1 serving of fruit, I can have sf popsicles and as a treat sf Jello.............14 days, that's it.........guess making lunches won't be hard.

Have a great day 2.

Mine was the same.... the only thing I could supplement was low sodium V-8 , low sodium broth and sugar free popsicles. Period.

I started today as well for a Sept. 11th surgery date. I'm supposed to have 50-60 grams of protein, 130 to 140 grams of carbohydrates and only liquids, including soup and 1 % cottage cheese. But what I see on here is a really reduced carbohydrate diet. It's really interesting how there are so many different pre op diets.

well after weighing myself today i'm feeling a lot better about this 700 calorie a day diet I'm on day 3 and I'm down 4 lbs! 8lbs more and 11 days till surgery

I'm new tp this as well and had my surgery postponed til Nov. 9th due to an ulcer. I want to purchase protien powder to start getting used to drinking them. Which one is used and where do I purchase it?

brandice, what are you allowed to have to make up those 700 calories?

I'm allowed 3 meals no snacking 1st meal - 1 protein 1 fruit 1 dairy

2nd meal - 1 protein 1 veggie

3rd meal - 1 protein 2 veggies

however i am not allowed to go over 700 calories. and usually i am only able to eat 2 meals because of the calories and i have a specific list of what fruits and veggies i can have. i have to weigh and measure everything
