Veggie burgers

[Yaya B 49]

Is it ok to eat veggie burgers (like morning star) while I on my pre op diet? Already this diet is getting quite boring.

You'd really need to ask your surgeon. Diets here seem to vary by a LOT so without knowing your guidelines, no one can answer you accurately.

That said, be prepared to be SUPER bored post op. Nothing exciting about a few weeks of liqquids followed by a few weeks of mushy. Snoresville.

Definitely check with your surgeon and read labels carefully. Not all veggie burgers are created equal.

Truth! My kid is a vegetarian and some of her veggie burgers would blow my carb count for the day.

As noted, check with your surgeon's team, as only they can tell you specifically what your diet is and why you are doing it.

Yeah I agree with the others, each surgeon has their own program and they should give you a pretty good idea of what to eat and what to stay away from. Also, you need to watch some of the commercial veggie burgers, as they can be extremely high in carbs, and a lot of them are heavy on soy-based Protein if that's important to you.

Best of luck!
