Pre-Op Diet
I just received my pre-op diet. It is 10-14 days of 3-4 EAS Protein shakes a day. I just looked those up and they are 100 calories each. I can also have some yogurt, cottage cheese, and jello... Seriously, how am I going to survive two weeks of 500 calories a day? I'm so nervous that I am going to not be able to get through those two weeks!
After the first three days, you really won't miss the food. I'm allowed up to 5 shakes a day, but no cottage cheese or yogurt. I do have the jello, though, even though I'm not a big jello fan. I'm on day 6, and I get a little better each day. However, one big thing is that once you see a few pounds drop off, it'll motivate you to keep at it!
You will survive trust me I am on my 5th week of liquid protein diet 2 weeks preop and on my 3rd week post op surgery was June 16 I get to move on to soft protein next week you can also have cream of chicken soup I bought the Protidiet creamy chicken soup mixes from Dr office they are so good I did add low sodium bouillon packets with them you can get the soup mixes on Amazon also although they are a little pricey on there. Good luck
