I'm starting my pre-op liquid diet today, but my doctor wasn't very helpful. He said I could have things like sugar-free popsicles, SF jello, broth, and 3 or four Atkins Advantage shakes, and of course, water. My surgery is scheduled for 12-27, but because of scheduling conflicts I don't go to my nutritional class until 12-22, and I was told there I could get more info. on this. Does anyone have any more suggestions?

Please call your doctor back and demand that they be helpful to you. It isn't your fault that they have scheduling conflicts and you couldn't get into a nutrition class sooner. You are having surgery, and deserve firm guidelines in writing. NO office should deny you this type of assistance. Just my .02. Kristen
