Not totally liquids. Two high protein shakes and one meal per day. The meal is 4-6oz of lean protein, 1/2c starch such as rice, beans or potatos, and unlimited non-starchy veggies, 1-2t fat. Freebies such as SF jello, broth, etc. This is for the 2 weeks before surgery. I'll do just liquids the day before surgery. What's your pre-op diet like?

Thanks! Hey...since we have the same date, if you want to stay in touch let me know. I think it would be great to swap stories/experiences/etc. SG

My surgery is at 2:30 on monday! I called the dr the other day to ask about being sick too. My kids and husband have been sick all week and I have been praying I don't get it. The drs office said they wouldn't do it with a fever or yucky nose but to not worry about it and they would do an exam the day of surgery to determine if I was ok to do it. Just to be safe though I have had ziacam a few times this week. Good luck monday. Wish I was going that early!

Topic: RE: Has any one cheated on their two wks diet...............
I am on day 4 of 14 of my pre-op diet: Optifast 900, up to 4 a day, plus 1 cup clear soup broth, 1/2 cupp balkan yogurt, celery/carrot sticks, and get this.... 4 halves of rinsed canned apricots. And diet soda, of course.
Day 1 was just optifast, i didn't know i could have the rest. It was hell.
Day 2 -3 I got some soup and yogurt, and thought wow!
Tonight I am going to add inthe celery or carrot, and try to keep it that way for the weekend. I am leaving the apricots for last. Partly bcz i think I will enjoy them the most, LOL. Partly bcz I don't have them yet.
I haven't cheated yet, but I am not done yet.
I just keep thinking "small liver is better!"
