Anyone have no special diet pre-op?
My surgeon put me on a low carb high lean protien diet when i seen him on 01/21. He told me to really kick it into high gear when i got a surgery date. I have to do 3 days all liquid and then 2 days clear liquid. I have already warned everone that starting the 19th I might be cranky... LOL

I drink 3 low sugar/high protein shakes per day - one at each meal.
I can have 1-2 snacks per day:
light yogurt (8 oz)
SF pudding (4 oz)
SF cocoa (1 packet in 6 oz. milk)
tomato soup made w/ skim milk
skim or 1% milk (8 oz)
Only these fluids may be taken in addition to the shakes:
water
crystal light
decaf coffee or tea
bouillon or broth
decaf diet soft drinks [these won't be allowed afterwards unles FLAT]
SF jello
tomato or V8 juice
SF popsicle
GOAL: take 60-80 oz of fluid and 60 grams of protein each day. (Might need more fluid)

6 am - 12 oz decaf coffee
8 am - 8 oz No sugar added Carnation Instand Breakfast made w/ skim milk
