Had Surgury 11/30 tell me what to expect
Every Doctor is different, so before you up or change your in-take check with them ... with that said, here is a list of things you should (could) be having:
Of course your 64 ounces of water. - My advice, take a "sip" (mouth full) every 10 minutes. It will keep you full
Ice Chips
Low-fat broth
Sugar-free Jello
Sugar-free juices (ie. Crystal Light)
Non-carbonated flavored waters
unsweetened decaffeinated ice tea
sugar-free popsicles
remember - the above list is all considered 'water' - so you can have as much as you like (again, check with your Doctor).
Skim milk (Skim Plus)
Vegetable juice (ex V-8 and/or tomato)
Low-fat cream soup (made with skim milk)
light smooth yogurt
light fat-free/sugar free ricotta
sugar-free/fat-free puddings (made with skim milk)
Apple sauce (natural - sugar free - no chunks)
whipped low fat cottage cheese
remember - these have calories - so eat until full (not stuffed).
Finally PROTEIN DRINK made with skim milk.
Please make sure you are getting your 60 to 80 grams of protein in per day (or whatever your Doctor told YOU). Protein will keep you full.
As for coffee - MY Doctor told me REGULAR coffee was/is a No-No. Decafe Coffee is permissible.
