Whats everyones preop requirements...
I have to do clear liquids and the laxitive thing the day before, t get "cleaned out". I am on 800-1000 calories and have been for a month now. I do not have to do liquids for 2 weeks but I am choosing to, so that I can lose a few more pounds and also get in the "liquid" mindset. Can some of you tell me what your liquid diet is like? I bought Slimfast, broth, soups with minor particles, s/f Jello, s/f pudding, milk, and 100% juice. Anything else? Thanks!
My liquid diet pretty much is what you said, protein supps, broth, SF popsciles, SF jello. Right now I am using HMR protein shakes, but will probably switch to EAS Myoplex Lite. I too am trying to stay around 1100-1200 calories, but since my date is not until the end of Feb, I am kind of lax right and going to step it up Feb 1 in prep for surgery. Good Luck.
i like the carnation instant breakfast shakes. i thought they would be gross but they are really good. also i absolutely love the cherry yogurt. its light by yoplait, and it is sooo good. it is allowed for my liquid diet. so it should be allowed for all. that really makes me feel full. (the yogurt) in fact i bought 10 of them today, in preparation for my preop days. =)
