I am having surgery in 17 days and starting my pre-op liquid/protein diet. I had a protein shake for breakfast and lunch 60 grams total. I am lactose intolerant so I ensured my shakes are lactose free. My issue is my stomach is hurting like crazy. I have been on high protein diet for few months now and this seems to only happen when I have protein only for the day. My doctor wants me on nothing else but protein and I am so sick ya'll...I will bring up with withy doctor on thurs when I see him. My question is... was anyone else allowed to eat yogurt..jello..broth etc.

Well im on a five day pre op diet. I'm allowd to have jello crystal light broth and the shakes....

I'm on a 10 day pre-op diet (finishing Day 5 tonight) and am allowed anything I want, as long as I consume no more than 50g carbs/day. BUT - follow your doctor's orders. If needed, call him/her sooner than your appointment. Each doctor has their own, specified pre-op diet based on their own preferences.

As far as I read so far all doctors seems to have their own diet to follow. For my pre-op diet I was allowed protein shakes and salad for two weeks and the last 3 days clear liquids which include broth jello etc.

I was high protein, low carb .. but lunch was still deli meat on one slice of multigrain bread with tomato. Dinner was protein with side of brown rice or potatoes. Breakfast was strictly protein shake AND I had to add a protein shake to every meal. If I still needed a snack I could have sugar free jello, sugar free popsicle, 5oz v8 juice. My liquid diet was only the day before surgery as well. I guess every doctor/NUT has their own rules as to what they want followed. I find it so interesting how different they all are.
