No one told me I could have the SF Jello and popsicles but I’m allowed to have them post op in the liquid phase. I just went ahead and assumed they were fine since they’re liquid and no sugar. 😊

Same for me... I can’t do Jello... the consistency but I will get some popsicles! 😁

I have to admit this popsicle is yummy!! 👅

Totally! It’s a total treat 😊

Best of luck to you all on your pre op diet. My layout was just like @YoBL , two shakes and one meal of 3oz Protein and vegies. Do you guys have a list of "freebies", I did and the one thing on it that saved my day so many times was pickles. I even drank the juice. They are considered no calorie so that's why it was a freebie.

GOOD LUCK!!! Your almost there.

OK, just looked at it and they are not zero calorie but very low. This list was given to my by my NUT and part of my program. Just be cautious if these are not listed as permitted foods for you, you may want to check with your team first before consuming.

"FREE FOODS" -SF Gelatin -SF popsicles -salad greens -bouillon -SF drinks -SF gum and my favorite -Dill pickles

Good Luck!!!

And I don't know why unless it's the high sodium level but OSU is very against pickles pre and post surgery.

Last day of my pre-op diet!!! Tomorrow is Clear Liquids only, no shakes, no cream Soups, surgery 7/24.
Don’t kid yourself, the pre-op is rough but there are ways to make it better.
I just made a vanilla whey Protein Shake with banana flavoring and powdered Peanut Butter. DELICIOUS!
Enjoy

Me too!!! My surgery is scheduled for 8/3 but my surgeon still hasn’t gotten insurance approval. I hope they hear from them soon and we can carry on as planned.
Good luck to us tomorrow!

My insurance approval literally came last Friday morning (only 4 hours before they would have tossed me off the surgery schedule for Monday). I'm absolutely not writing this to scare you - more to give you faith Keep pushing, keep calling the insurance company - and most importantly visualize that approval letter!!

@Frustr8 Pickles contain seeds
which are a no-no post surgery as they can get stuck in the stitches and seems of your closed internal incisions and create an infection.

@ktistinolivia omg!! I’d be a nervous wreck!! I called the doctors office last Monday and I think I’m calling them again tomorrow. They told me not to call insurance on my own because “they know who to talk to”. I’m going to need answers soon! I already have a splitting headache from lack of caffeine and I’m PMSing so they better watch out!! 😂😂

@Rick Z now that makes perfect sense, at least I k,ow no one capricously. disrespected them because they got sick once.
