Preop diet question

Ok so I started a preop diet and have the choice of two shakes and a high protein diner or follow some examples of dinners and snacks. Question. If I am taking a shake in the morning and a shake in the afternoon then the dinner I am still feeling really hungry. Is there any fat free and still shrink my liver snacks I could try?

My NUT has things like SF Jello and Popsicles and V8. There are a few other things too, however she emphasized if I needed have the snacks I needed to be calling her and letting her know exactly what I was eating and that I still needed to come in between 800-1000cal.

NUT?

My plan allowed for an additional shake after dinner if needed. My nutritionist also said I was welcome to throw in an extra salad. She also said that if I was REALLY feeling like I HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING, I could have an egg or a serving of almonds, but it would be better not to.

I'm not saying that this is what YOU should do, but that's the advice I was given.

Thanks I just push through but this afternoon I am STARVING!!! I did so good yesterday I only had the protein shake for breakfast one for lunch then 2 oz. Tuna with 1 tbsp. Light mayo on a single slice of toasted rye with 2 cups of steamed carrots

More protein will help with hunger need about 65g a day drink protein drinks like nectar flavored whey protein sugar free gum Dannon Greek yogurt also sugar free Italy Ice hot tea's sugar free hot coco broth helps good luck pre op is the hardest part for me had my sleeve March 4th glad I did it wish I could have done it sooner in my life I feel great and off my high blood pressure pill :) I also did a lot of reading and walking help to get your mine off food..

Yes you can. My nut allows it. Its been my savior when the dairy got too much for me. My surgery is on tuesday so you'll be fine. Jell-O makes a strawberry-kiwi flavor that doesnt even taste sugar free!

Yes you can all so Italy Ice it same me all so ....

i could have sf jello up until the evening before my sugar however I was instructed to ingest nothing that has red dye in it on the day before surgery.

Same here. My nut wants me to have regular Jello to put the sugar back in my body.

Its so weird how everyones pre op diet varies
