What kind of diet is your surgeon putting you on for preop?

Mine will be a Protein shake for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch, and a small amount of lean meat for dinner with veggies if desired. This will be for 2 weeks.

I am on a low carb diet consisting of 2 vanilla Optifast shakes a day (let me tell you I can't stand these things and gag everytime I have one), plus Protein and free veges for night time meal. I can have cheese and/or ham and any free veges if I'm too hungry between shakes/meal. No dairy at all (other than cheese) which is killing me.

Surgery is 4th Novemer so thankfully not too may more shakes.

Mine is:

Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch

Tomato juice for morning snack

Lean Quizine, Healthy Choice, or Smart One for supper

Fat free yogurt or Protein Shake for evening snack

Carbs are to be 50-80 grams

Protein is to be 60-90 grams

Calories are to be 800-1000

I do get the evening off the night before my surgery. I had already planned a Pampered Chef party and they said as long as I do not get carried away that I would be fine. I have planned food that is very "pre-op diet friendly". I know I will be over a bit on carbs and calories but not by much if I use my head.

I start my pre-op diet on October 29 and go to November 11 when I have surgery. Just under two weeks by a day or two.

Mine is low-carb, which I'm well versed in. I've been doing Atkins on and off for about 2yrs now.

Starting today! Surgery in 14 days!!! :w00t::thumbup::w00t:
