Can anyone who has been through the program in Richmond please tell me what the pre-op diet is like? Thank you!

Everyone's pre-op diet is custom-tailored to the individiual's tastes and requirements, so you shouldn't try using someone else's.

That being said, the general guidelines appears to be 1200 or fewer calories, with a focus on low-sodium, fibre, non-refined carbs and a good amount of protein.  Oh, and no caffeine and herbs/spices (Mrs. Dash was allowed, though).

Thank you so much! My orientation went well and I will be meeting with the dietitian next week. I think it's a good start.
