I get either Jello, pudding, cream of wheat/oatmeal, yogurt, 1 cup veggies, in addition to my Protein shakes on my pre-op.

Surgeons office says I can add unflavored Protein powder to the jello and pudding too.

The Jello and the pudding are sugar free, but that's fine with me. I only get to pick 2 items from the list though per day. Which is still nice because at least there is some variation instead of just shakes all the time.

It's not about weight loss - it's about no carbs or fat. I don't think tuna will cause an issue but you should try to stick with your prescribed diet.

The pre-OP diet isn't about weight loss. Most of the weight lost on the pre-op is water weight. Glycogen needs water. Once you have depleted your glycogen stores, you body will retain less water. Some surgeons use weight loss as an indicator that a patient stuck to the diet, but if you were already doing low carb, you might not lose much at all. If you were doing high carb right up to the start of it, you might lose a lot of water weight. Just depends on how much you were retaining.

I can't really measure the Water wt loss due lasix and htn med... but besides 2oz tuna hiccup I have been following pre-op diet along with 2 qts of water... thx ppl for good info... working on limited brain power....lol

I'm on day 5 and it gets easier! I think the first 2 days were the worst. My pre-op is not all liquid, I get to have 3 oz of lean Protein and 2 cups of salad or veggies for dinner so that is helping a lot. I don't think the tuna will cause an issue either but I agree you should stay on your prescribed plan. You can do this.

Day one of liquid diet here, but I only get to have clear liquid sugar free drinks, Sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, and broth. Not even a Protein shake here.
