My dr does a 2 week pre op diet. 2 Meal Replacement shakes a day. 1 dairy snsck-Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. 2-3 cups vegetables and 3-4 ounces lean Protein, that can be split into 2 meals if desired.

At the surgery class I think they said 1 hard boiled egg counts as 1 oz protein. Does this sound right? I bought a 2-pack of eggs at wawa this morning and it was 3 oz total.

Thanks.

Off the top of my head that sounds about right.

In terms of grams of Protein, 1 large egg is the same 7 gm of protein as 1 oz of lean meat.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Next question-spinach. Do I measure by volume? Pack it into a measuring cup? Can I measure by weight?

Since it is 2-3 cups of vegetables then you would measure by volume.

Thanks. I got smart. The package said a serving size was 2 cups and had 2 servings. I was able to use the food scale to get half and not make more dirty dishes!
