I have my class on Tuesday, but am wondering if there are any foods I should start buy for the pre op diet? Also, any suggestions for post op items? Thanks!

Hi Sandra, The pre-op diet is 2 weeks of high protein and low carbs (to shrink your liver), and the day before surgery is strickly clear liquids. Let me know how your class goes on Tuesday. Hugs Stephanie

Thanks from me too Sandy. My date is 12/8 and I do not have my pre-op class until 11/29. Glad to know your advice. Don

Post op will be clear liquids. Broth, tea (decaffeinated) sugar free popsicles. Not much really. If you like crystal light or any flavored water without sugar you can have that too. Good luck. The beginning is tough but they say it is worth it.
