Hi everyone my surg is 11/29 and my 10 diet starts soon. My dr said low fat not all liquids so..... I need help! Can somebody give me some examples of a meal or a days worth of meals. My nutritionist gave me a paper it says 6-8oz protien, 2 servings of dairy, 3-4 servings of veggies, 1-2 servings of fruit, and no calorie fluids. Now what do I do with that?? Help!

That's good, you get more food than I do! For the no calorie liquids I love the crystal light packets. Maybe you could try those. What types of foods do you like to eat?

My surgery is the same day!

It's so strange to me how some of these doctors have such heavy restrictions and others do not? My doctor says liquid only and that consists of 60-90 grams of Protein from shakes mixed with Water. I can have additionally 2 of the following each day. 8oz of light yogurt, cottage cheese non fat - 1/2 cup. One hard boiled egg, sliced turkey/chicken 2 oz or 8 oz skim milk.

I can also have one of these vegetables each day. Steamed non starchy veggies - 1 cup or 2 cups of raw vegetables.

I can have all the SF Jello, and Popsicles I want. My day typically has been coffee with equal/fat free creamer just a dab. Then a shake, lots of water, then lunch I have chicken broth with 1 oz of shredded chicken. Then snack I have jello, herbal tea with equal and dinner I've been having more chicken broth with 1/2 cup cottage cheese and I snack on crunchy carrots and celery in the evening. I try to have two more shakes and I drink lots of water and or calorie free crystal light.

If I could eat low fat, that would be easy!

You could do cottage cheese and pineapple for Breakfast, salad with a few oz of chicken breast meat sprinkled with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar (the good stuff)! And dinner you could have 3-4 oz of chicken, fish or poultry, Beans, and steamed veggies and sprinkle mrs dash seasoning or fake butter from mrs dash on veggies. You could do scrambled egg whites with fresh veggies too. Be thankful your not on the diet I'm on. I'm on day 4 and its getting easier but still a bit tough. What I would give to have a few eggs with fresh veggies!

I'm the 28th!

Yes, we should! I'm super nervous, but determined. I just have to keep my focus to get through this diet! I'm allowed protein shakes for breakfast & for lunch. Then, dinner consists of 4 oz of meat, cheese and/or egg with a half cup of veggies. I can have 2 cups of chicken broth, 2 jello cups and 2 sugar free popsicles per day as snacks. I'm hungry! LOL

My surgery is the 26th. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. My doctor has me on 10 days of liquids. I can have 3 protein shakes a day. I can have 1/2 cup cottage cheese up to three times a day. I have only been eating it once a day. I can have all the crystal light, water, broth,sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles I want. I am finishing up day four and so far so good. I thought it would be worse than this. Wednesday will be my biggest test. They are eating at work and having ribs, bbq and all the fixings. They don't know about my surgery so, I am going to pretend my stomach is bothering me so they won't question me not eating.

Good luck. I'm thinking of avoiding my family for thanksgiving. I can't be around food right now!

My surgery is not until January but my doctor insists on an all liquid diet of shakes for 3 weeks prior to surgery. I was told by the nurse that if I was absolutely starving that I could have greek yogurt but it was not to be everyday. I'm more worried about the 3 week diet than about the surgery!
