I started my pre op diet today and its a little harder then I was thinking it was going to be. Anyone out there that has been on this same diet with him have any advice on what you ate? Did you ever go over on the 3 cups of salad veggies or more then 3 oz of cheese? Did you have a lot of chicken broth? What were some of the items you ate??????

Im pre-op with Dr.K and i'm thinking the meat and salad is ok i didnt see alot of limits on the paperwork just no carbs no suger nothing fried..but i would cut back alittle since liquids r soon to come so you won't feel hungry and drink alot of water..all veggies r ok and make a vinagerette and olive oil dressing and you can have dairy from what i read..just nothing processed..i think this is much easier then whats to come...

by the way i'm set for may 5th so i have to start my diet in two weeks

You are limited from what I read. 2-3 cups of salad or vegetables 1 cup of other vegetables and 3-4 oz of cheese products. Most meats/eggs are unlimited. I am not starving to death or anything, I was just looking for some ideas of what people on this diet did, so I dont get really bored with it. Thanks!!

oh okay..well i don't have the limitations in my packet..but i also have not had my consult with the nutritionist yet ..so i may find out that info then..well good luck to you.
