I am 3 days into my 2 week pre-surgery diet and it's killing me. These protein shakes kinda fill me up but I just can't stomach 3 a day. If I see anymore sugar-free jello I'm gonna scream. So far I am surviving on carrots and crystal light as well as my 1 low-calorie SmartOnes meal. I need some more ideas for No Sugar/Very Low Calorie foods to get me through the next 11 days!
Well when I was pre-op and doing my diet I usually ate the following
B: Atkins Shake
S: Cherry Tomatoes or Carrots dipped in a low cal balsamic
L: Atkins Shake OR turkey cheese wrapped in a low cal/carb tortilla
S: Yogurt
D: Well here is where I would cheat and go eat whatever I wanted. I suggest you DONT do this. You can then have your SmartOnes meal or make a wrap or a already make/frozen turkey burger
I even made recipes on the egg face website prior to my surgery too for dinner ideas

Thanks for your reply! It's so interesting to see how the prep is so different for each hospital. I am definately going to do my research!
