So...getting ready to go to the grocery store to buy stuff for my pre-op diet. I'm allotted very little amounts of carbs for the next 2 weeks. Any suggestions on what to stock up on in my house? I'm allowed to have solids until the night before my surgery, and I have no idea what I'm supposed to eat. I've been referring to pre-op as the meat diet, because other than cheese, I'm afraid to eat anything else. What did you all eat prior to surgery? I'm kind of lost...

I'm not to the point of being on the two week pre-op diet yet, but I can tell you what my doctor's plan is:

FIRST WEEK

Two Protein shakes per day

One meal per day (the list has what frozen meals are acceptable and what amounts to use of regular food if you choose not to do the frozen meals)

Drink 64 oz. of Water per day

SECOND WEEK

Four Protein Shakes per day

64 oz of water per day

Both of these weeks you can supplement with unlimited SF Jello, SF popsicles, unsweet decaf tea, broth, and Powerade Zero

Hope this helps.
