Day One!

Why is everyone's pre-op diet so varied? Time wise too. (on finding something more filling, popsicles are solid in your mouth for a bit) My doctor had me start 2 weeks before surgury. And I can use fat free milk. Evie Sep. 5th (280/280/145)

I've wondered about the variety myself. I didn't have to change my diet as far before surgery as most did because I already followed a high protein low carb lifestyle for about 2 years... it is second nature to me now... but there are some with radically different eating habits that will be told to start the high protein low carb sooner... then the pre-ops... no clue why they vary... my doc told us it's 2 days because then it cleans out your system pretty well and gets the tummy good and empty which leads to less complications/gas/etc... HUGS, hope that it helped... I'm 2 hrs from no liquids... YIKES... I feel thirsty all of a sudden! LOL... gonna go take my meds and have a good night's sleep so I can be cut open while in good spirits tomorrow... I'm looking forward to this! HUGS Rachel
