Pre-Op Diet

I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. Any advice? I'm pretty nervous.

Personally, I didn't find it to be as bad as I thought it would be. The first few days were hard for me, not necessarily because I was hungry but because I missed the sensation of chewing. I'm on my last day of pre-op diet (surgery tomorrow) and I can proudly say I didn't cheat once! I just kept reminding myself that the pre-op diet was for my own good for surgery. I also relied heavily on chicken broth because I was getting really tired of the sweet protein shakes. Also, sugar free popsicles and jello are great options too! Good luck!! :)

Popsicles and Jello are really good additional options. Thank you!

Went to my pre-op class on Thursday and was SO happy to know that I could have popsicles and jello because I'm almost certain I'm going to be tired of protein shakes!

I start my liquid diet on Thursday. 4 shakes and 2 protein bars a day. Can have broth, popsicles, and jello also, along with water, Crystal light, G2, etc. And one small banana a day to keep potassium up.

Trying to syke myself up to think it won't be as bad as it seems.

Good luck, OP. We've got this [emoji4][emoji4]

I'm definitely hoping it's not as bad as it seems!

I'm in the midst of mine.

I was told protein pudding too. Make Sugar free pudding with a scoop of unflavored protein powder.

I'm allowed 1 hard boiled egg, 1 protein yogurt, 1/2 cup protein pudding and 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese

I just made broth today (going to freeze some for post op) but I had some and it's a nice change
