Looks like your menu would be way more enjoyable with the yogurt and hot cereals. I start mine Wednesday I hope its not too difficult.20211226_060953.jpg

Oh wow yours is strictly liquid! I was told no slimfast because it has too much sugar in it. Good luck with you diet and surgery! I'm sure you will be able to get through it!

Yes it funny how different they are. My dietitian said protein shakes need to be under 5 grams of sugar, under 200 calories and high protein. I've been doing the premier protein. Good luck to you too.

Mines is liquids and yogurt but I don’t eat it.. So I’ll be living off broth and popsicles for a while lol.
I take my hat off to all who are on the pre-op diet during Christmas and New Years. I am nervous about the pre op diet all by itself let alone during the holidays which are usually centered around food. CONGRATULATIONS rather you realize it or not that is no small task and just wanted to encourage all keep it up. I start Jan 4th?

Mine is as follows:

Starting on January 4th, avoiding carbs, no fruit, no yogurt. I will be using a protein shake for 2 of my meals, and my other meal will be lean protein and vegetables. The day before surgery (1/10) I will be on a liquid diet. 3-4 protein shakes a day and sugar-free clear liquids.

My surgery is Jan 11 (with luck as long as I don't get cancelled)

☆Starr

Surgery is January 5th so I am on day of liquid diet. My liquid diet consists of 5 Atkins protein shakes a day and that is it.

Hello everyone. are there any January buddies? I got my confirmation for January 4th.

I don't have a surgery date set yet but hoping for in January early February. I will know everything after January 11, 2022.
