Dr. Cobean's pre-op diet question...
Can any of you tell me how you did on the two week pre-op diet? When did you find it best to eat the "meal"? What time of the day did you drink the shakes? I am starting the diet Monday, but I will be traveling. I am just planning to take a cooler and keep my shakes in it. Not sure what I am going to do for a meal....probably a salad and I will just use my own dressing. Any hints or advice on how to get through the next two weeks would be greatly appreciated.
Probably it is best to have your regular meal mid day. Because you will burn some off by night time. But I had a Slim Fast for Breakfast, one for Lunch and a weigh****cher or Lean Cuisine for dinner. Pick up some SF popsicles they are a great substitute for something bad. I lost 12 or 13 lbs on my pre-op diet. And remember veggies and salad with SF dressing are free, so you can have that in addition to everything else.
