So I am coming up to the when I start my 2 week pre-op diet and I have some questions.

When it comes to the Vitamins, does it have to be a certain brand(the surgeons office recommended Building Blocks) or can I go with something not so costly?

The Meal Replacement Shakes. Are there specific ones to go for? Which brands?

Sipping...I understand the idea of sipping my fluids but, is there a wait time between sips I should be following? And post surgery do I sip until I feel a certain way?

When I start the diet I would like to have a step-by-step breakdown of the entire day. At what time and for how long I do such and such. If anyone could set me up with one or give me a link I would appreciate it.

Also, i was told I need to take in 80 to 100 ounces of water a day. Is that accurate? Reason I ask is when I was looking at diet plans for pre-op the water ounces didnt add up to what i was told.

Thanks for any help :)

My preop diet is:

All 3 meals are protein shakes and snacks are sf jello, sf pudding, and sf popsicles. As for what kind of protein shakes, I really love the Unjury kind. They are amazing. I havent figured out my vitamin situation yet. I should find out on Monday if they recommend a specific kind though.

When it comes to Protein shakes, my doctor said as long as they followed the following criteria:
Protein: 20 -40 grams
Fat: 5 grams or less
Sugar: 5 grams or less
I would suggest you try a few before committing to a certain brand. Walmart has their own brand and it's pretty reasonably priced. I believe $15 or less for a case of 12.
Vitamins....... I was instructed that for the 1st month after surgery we needed to get the patch. Especially the multi vitamin and B12.
As far as water goes. I believe everyone is different. Our(my) guidelines are to get in at least 64 ounces per day.
Good luck in your journey. [emoji6]

Thanks so much for your replies!
