Pre Op Diet

So I'm on my last day of my 2 week preop diet. Do you think it is okay to have a homemade broth with watered down tomato juice and beef broth? It was cooked with veggies and beef, but I strained those out. My instructions say chicken, beef and vegetable broth, but didn't know if it was okay with the watered down tomato juice.

different surgeons have different pre-op diets. I was allowed tomato juice (and V8) on mine, so I'm guessing it wouldn't hurt you...

I'd recommend asking. Some programs think tomatoes are too acidic. (I did tomato soup on liquids with no problem.)

But as far as I know tomatoo can help to remove fat. Though it's acidic I know.
