Ok so I have a two week pre op diet. It says a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch then a salad with protein for dinner. My question is, is there anything I can have in between? The last three days are nothing but clear fluids. So am I able to have jello, broth, and juice now as well?

Yes you can. Anything non caloric like iced tea, sufpgar free Popsicles, jello, broth etc should be good.

The pre-op diets are all different, I was only allowed full liquids for the 2 weeks before.

I would suggest asking your surgeon or NUT. Pre op diets are so important. You want to do exactly what they say.

I only had a week of the pre op diet

Mine is 5-6 8oz shakes per day, and sf jello, broth, tea and coffee. I would say stick with the sf jello and broth yes. I'm the same day as you are for surgery.

Mine is also 5 8oz. shakes a day, with shugar free jello and popsicles and broth. The shakes that they suggested however contain aspartame, and I am getting killer headaches. I'm not sure what is safe to take to counter act the headaches.

I'm on day 3, with 4 days to go, and I'm not sure if I can take the headaches for 4 more days.

I was headache free by day 4. It's most likely the detoxing from the sugar and processed foods that your body is going threw. The liver is also shrinking down, which makes all the other organs a little harder. Once I got to day 4, the headache was nothing like day 2-3 was. Day 5 was zero headache! Your allowed Tylenol only for pre op. I went to bed early after taking hot baths. That's what got me threw days 2-4.

Keep going, your about to turn the corner honey!

Ok a little off topic but I'm wondering if anyone has suffered from constipation with the pre op diet? If so, what did you find best to use? I apologize in advance if this is TMI.

Haha. OMG I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for a solution but right now it's thanksgiving here and no store open and looks like I may be resorting to some exlax. I need some relief

I've had the opposite problem. I've had the #3's all week. Wish it would stop but know it won't until about December. Oh well.

Kayla, your diet is identical to mine.

Are you being sleeved in Mexico? Who's your doc?

I want to know... What exactly we can have in the salad? Is it just green veggies?

Oh and I recommend a colace stool softener. All this protein and iron can definetley make. Us constipated!

Yes I am being sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Lopez at the MiDoctor hospital. I was told I could have peppers, onions, egg, cucumber in my salad in addition to the Protein part of course where are you having your surgery?
