So my nutritionist canceled my appointment to discuss my two week pre-op diet I'm scheduled to start tomorrow..

There are quite a few variations on the pre-op diet, but it's important that your nutritionist gives you the diet that your surgeon wants.

I suggest calling the nutritionist and also checking their website (if they have one). My pre-op diet (which I'm on day 10 of) is posted, but I also went over it in detail and my nutritionist allowed some variance for my situation.

Some pre-op diets are more restrictive than others, but typically 1,000 calories per day or less, 2-5 Protein shakes a day, low carb, low fat. Some allow a small meal with protein and night...again low fat, low carb. Most seem to allow Clear liquids (broth, tea, decaf coffee, jello) between shakes.

But really important that you talk with your nutritionist.
