TxKev how is the pre op diet going?
Thanks for asking. For the most part OK, but I was at a golf tournament yesterday and I did take my powder and milk for both meals I needed. Somehow my dry powder got wet and could not make my dinner shake. I decided to have a couple of pieces of brisket, it tasted GREAT but did not sit well in my stomach. Will not do that again!! The worse day was Saturday, I was not hungry but I felt I need to eat something, I had a couple of crackers and that solved the problem. Hopefully yesterday does not set me back.
to be clear . . I'm not a doctor and would never contradict dr. kim or his staff on the pre-op stuff . . .but I've been there, and I found that only shakes all day made me sick to my stomach. I did jello and some crackers. Now, about 3 days before surgery I cut out all food that wasn't on the liquid diet and only had the shakes, jello, and broth. I wanted to make sure my insides were clean before they cut. But during the first part, the crackers got me through. :-) also, I would use beef broth instead of chicken and I added spices to the broth to change up the flavor. I love a spice store in our area, called Penzy's. They have a salt free spice called mural of flavor that's good in beef broth, and they sell dried shallots, which I used once too. I'm addicted to those shallots, I add them to everything.
Good luck!
