Truth

Does everyone really stick to the pre-op diet 100%. I mean really if I could do such a strict diet I wouldn't be here. I don't mean junk food or pigging out I mean like maybe a hard boiled egg or a salad somewhere in between ?? Be honest

    I find it interesting that everyone seems to have a different pre-op diet. My dr's office gave me a meal plan. 600-800 calories a day from Protein and low carb vegi's for all 3 meals or a shake. I have been doing my best to follow the diet but it is loosely written so I'm not always sure I'm on track.
