15 Day Pre-Op Starts Tomorrow

[SleeveandRNYchica 1,155]

So my pre-op starts tomorrow. Not sure how much it differs from US type pre-ops.

This is my schedule

Breakfast

1 glucerna

coffee/tea no sugar or milk\

1 natural fruit juice no sugar

snack

Diet Yogurt or Kumis

or Diet Ice Cream

Aromatica (mint leaves and fruit in hot water)

Diet Soda

lunch

liquid Soup with veggies & beef, chicken, or seafood

sugar free Jello

dinner

Repeat of lunch

The one difference I do see is that my diet soda intake is not limited and I can have as much tea or aromatica as necessary.

I have to drink at least 7 glasses of Water per day. I am not a big soda drinker, so I can not see over indulging in that. But I see many aromaticas on my 15 day journey.

What does your pre-op consist of?

Steelers Nation in the house! That is my hubs team all the way. I think I may take my preop picture in my steelers shirt that is to small now! When is your surgery? The 30th?

So yeah, I am allowed carbonated diet drinks....ummmm. I can't find sugar free popsicles here.

I'm on the same pre-op diet. I'm struggling and it's just my day 2. How are you doing? Any suggestions?

Hi. I am surviving on lots of sf Popsicles and Jello. I also try to add prices to my Soup. My nut told me that I could have the broth from any broth base soup as long as I strain it or get just the broth. That helps too.
