Ok, I do not start my preop diet until October 8th. My preop diet is very clear! And my post op diet is "fairly clear" At my last nut visit she was emphasizing what I should eat after surgery. I showed her what I have been eating because I'm really trying to focus on getting Proteins in. She "very nicely" slapped my hands for using Special K Protein drinks because they have 28 grams of carbs and 18 grams of sugars. My question is this....I know I can't have that many grams of carbs and sugars after surgery or on my pre-op diet, but does it hurt to have it now (a week and two days before I start my preop) Of course I've bought several boxes of the flavors I like. I have found a couple of Protein Drinks that fit into the low carb low sugar that I will be allowed after surgery.

My surgery date is October 22, 2014.

Thanks!

In my opinion, you wouldn't be doing any extra harm by having them now, you just aren't making the best choice (the same bad choices most of us have made for years and years).

I'd consider it a better option than some of the food funerals some folks mention where they binge on terrible things before making the big life change.
