My surgery date is May 6, 08.  I would like to eat Kidney beans.  Are they safe to eat while on pre-op diet.  I need help on what i should eat to get full and not fell hungry.  This my daily meal plan: Breakfast  AdvantEdge Protein Shake (chocolate fudge) Snack  16 oz bottle water  Lunch  Spinach and Carrots Snack  Water or Crystal Lite Dinner  AdvantEdge Protein Shke (strawberry creme)

As always, your best bet would be to check with your surgeon.  It seems surgeons are all different when it comes to diet regime's.  I did not need to follow any specific guidelines for a pre-op diet.  I only had to be on clear liquids all day, the day before my surgery and nothing to drink after midnight.

Hi! Miss Paula. I had my pre-op appt  today. Everything went well. I told my nurse i cheated. She wasn't very happy, but she didn't reschedule my surgery date.   I just need to stay on the right track for the next few days.  I hope  your surgery goes well.  i will keep you in my prayers.
