Question about pre-op diet

[Tilli13 3]

I just started the program before I actually have the surgery. My question is that I don’t have to lose any weight and I’m curious if I’m trying to prepare, eatingwise, any advice? My nutritionist said eat what I want but I’m to follow the Proteins about 30% and no sugar and no processed food. Maybe because I’m new I’m new and just don’t get it. Please help!!

Hello, I’m no expert-but I believe every doctor requires different things. Meaning, your pre-op instructions may differ from another persons. For example-I was instructed to do a 3 day liquid diet, and others that I know personally were instructed to do a 2 week liquid diet. As far as any tips/guidance that may help you later-I was instructed to get into the habit of not drinking while eating, taking bites of food the size of an almond, and getting into a constant habit of eating around the same times each day for my meals. You can also get a head start by eating clean, and Protein enriched meals.

I think its a wide variety of difference based on your surgeon, I had to do a 7 day liquid diet to decrease my liver before the surgery. There are reasons that they ask you to stay on the directed diet to make things safer for the procedure.

She is right one Low Cal high - High Protien - NO CARBS OR PROCESSSED food

Here is my view

If you can catch it, shot it, pick it, or grow it - carb free - yourself eat it -

Do a search for fluffy chick she has a great post on the foods to eat
