Pre-op diet?

[shadesofteal 10]

Okay...I start my two week pre-op diet tomorrow. I can have three Protein Shakes and supplement that with clear and full liquids. I need some ideas so I don't lose my mind over the next two weeks! Anyone have any great ideas to manage the liquid diet? ?? Thx!

I bought the Unjury unflavored Protein and added it to Soups. (cream of chicken strained was my favorite). Some people say they can taste the protein, but I couldn't at all.

I'm on day 8 of my two-week preop diet. The first four days were miserable - in addition to fighting allergies, I had headaches, weakness, and all the other symptoms of being hungry. On the 5th day, I felt like normal again (with hunger pangs every now and then, but not severe at all).

There are people who were allowed to eat anything they wanted up until the last minute before surgery. If you ask me, we're the lucky ones. Imagine waking up from major surgery and how recovery feels at first. Add to that all the symptoms I just described above - aint nobody got time for that!

Get yourself some Isopure (and/or Syntrax Nectar) to supplement your Protein drinks, and/or some Yes whey (not New Whey) bullets. Lastly, get yourself some unflavored Protein (Unjury makes this among others) so that you can add it to your clear and full liquids).

You're gonna do great - hang in there and remember that many of us have been through the two-week diet, you have us to lean on!

My pre op diet was 2 weeks and I could do Clear Liquids only, Protein drinks, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles. I survived with a positive attitude about it I think it made a huge difference. I kept reminding myself this diet is what is going to make recovery easier and I'm loosing weight. however i do Agree the first few days are the hardest but gets easier. The chocolate truffle sintrex nectar was the saving grace those two weeks! It is REALLY good taste like the best chocolate milk! Best of luck and remember this diet is the hardest part and there is and end!
