Surgery date
I was told today that I will my surgery date in 10 dates, that insurance excepted me. Yea I could not be happier, now can i ask for some meal ideas for the low carb high protein diet that i have to do for 2 week then I have to do the clear liquid diet for 2 days prior to surgery. I am so used to eating lots of carb and very little meat because i really hate the taste and the only other way i know to get high protein is protein shakes and protein bars, I could really use some help here with other types of food to eat.

Congrats!
for my pre op diet i was only allowed 2 small meals a day. They had to have a protein, 1/2 cup veggies, 1 cup salad. ..i could use 2tb of salad dressing as long as it was light dressing.. I mainly ate a can of tuna with 1tb light mayo...1/2 cup any veggies....and a salad with 1tb light ranch. i'd swith out the protein for baked chicken, fish, pork...etc..
the rest of the time I had to get in a lot of fluids. I drank mostly protein shakes and water with crystal light until i reached 62-100 oz .
With this plan I lost 10lbs preop. Hope that helped.

ty very much. I eat alot of chicken, and i recently found i like tuna on a salad, with ranch dressing, I have found i really like the protein shakes from sams club, and i like many of the crystal light drinks and but i am so confused on starchy veggies and things like that, can i have greek yogart or light yogart.
