Pre-op diet
Okay, so I am ready to start my pre-op diet on Wednesday and I have a couple of questions. One day it says I have to have some Chocolate Carb Countdown milk. All I can find at the store is Chocolate Calorie Countdown milk. Are they one in the same? If not, does anyone know where I can find it? Also where do I find Dannon Fit & Lite smoothies?
Do I have to strictly follow the diet day by day as it is listed in the book or can you vary it?
Thanks,

The diet in the book is just for example. You can pick and chose any of the list of items in the beginning of the book and switch them up. I mostly had protein shakes and diet (5 calorie) jiuce which I also added unflavored protein too if I needed. I also had sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles and yogurt (low calorie/low fat). Good luck and the Nut told me if you can't take it and need to eat, have a lean cuisine once per day. Once you get through day three it gets a lot easier. Good luck!!
As long as you have the 3 full protein meals and the 1/2 protein snack portions you can mix up the meals any way you want.
At day 2 I was ready to cut someone's head off, at day 3 it all turned around and was fine.
Best of luck. Time will fly now.

I couldn't find the Dannon Fit & Lite Smoothies either. I bought Hannaford light smoothies. I also couldn't find the Chocolate Carb Countdown. I mix things up on the liquid diet. Day two was my worst day. I would have cut an arm off if I thought it would have tasted good! LOL The suger free jello and popcicles were a good treat for me. Try the orange crystal light mixed with water and a scoop of the vanilla protein....oh my yummy!! Good luck to you! The days flew by for me once I started the liquid diet before surgery.
