Help...pre Op Diet

[slatter 19]

I started my 2 week pre op diet today and I'm starving!! I've had 4 protien shakes and some broth and Jello today. I don't know how I'm going to survive the next two weeks. Any help from people who have gone through it old be appreciated. thanks :-)

I also started my pre op diet 2 days ago... and for me I found munching on radishes was very helpful... I found a recipe on the Internet where you can bake them it's almost like eating potato chips but no calories none of the bad stuff.... 7 of them only have 15 calories i just slice some real thin....a dash of salt.... and it curb my appetite..... just my own experience.

Great idea. Was this allowed on your pre op diet or did you just take it upon yourself to do this to get through the day.

Actually... I knew radishes were really low in calories.... and my pre op diet is to have one sensible meal... along with my 2 Protein shakes...I just figured that would have been part of my sensible meal in a salad so I just cut up a bunch of radishes dashed then with salt ...like potato chips... but so healthy.... and snacked on them. The other thing is on Monday I didn't have my other second Protein Shake so I figured out I'm getting less calories anyway so I don't see the problem snacking on radishes...
