pre op

what does your pre op diet consist of? I have to do a 10 day liquid diet

Mine is a 2 week full liquid diet consisting of broth, protein shakes, sf jello& pudding, followed by a 3 day clear liquid of water and broth.  I'm not lovin it but it's not killing me either..yet.  I just miss eating ya know! 

Mine is 5 optifast shakes a day for 2 weeks and that is it (except for water)!  I am so hungry and angry I'm hangry lol...I just keep telling myself that this is only a step in my journey.

I am on 2 full weeks of protein drinks, broth, sf jello and clear liquids.  Today is day 7 and I am halfway there. Lol I like the word HANGRY, that sums it up perfectly.

I have liquid diet 24 hours prior to surgery nothing to eat or drink after midnight .

I'm on a 3 day clear liquid diet before my surgery.

I am also on 5 protein shakes a day for two weeks. I am allowed 4 meals substituted for a shake throughout the two weeks. (small, sensible meals...lean meat, two veggies) I am on day 3 of shakes. I haven't used one of my meals yet...but I want to. I'm just trying to save it for the weekend! lol
