Preop diet question

[dfdscott 53]

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.

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!

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

I would be careful of red colored things this close.
