I have a DATE 3/8/2005 - 3 more weeks

I have my date and Next week I will start my 16 day diet, can anyone give suggestions as to someof the foods that they have eaten during the 1000 calories a day for 14 days and what types of clear liquids they had for the last 2 days before surgery.

Congratulations on your date. I can't give you any advice as my doctor doesn't require this particular preop diet. If they want 1000 calories a day I would recommend tracking everything on fitday.com to make sure you aren't going over. Here is a list of clear liquids: Clear fruit juices without pulp such as apple juice, grape juice, cranberry juice, Broth, bouillon, fat free consommé, tea (hot or cold), Kool-Aid, Fruit ices (without chunks of fruit), plain gelatin, clear hard candy, popsicle made from clear juices. Breakfast Hot tea with lemon juice and 1 tsp sugar (no pulp); Apple juice (8 oz); Gelatin 1 cup Lunch Hot tea with lemon (no pulp) and sugar; Grape juice (8 oz); Fruit Ice (1 cup); Consommé (8 oz.) Snack Fruit juice (apple, cranberry or grape, 8 oz); Gelatin (1 cup) Dinner Hot tea with lemon and sugar; Apple juice (8 oz); Consommé (8 oz); Fruit Ice (1 cup)
