What is your Pre-Op Diet?

 I'm guessing my doc is a little strange, because I'm on a low/no carb diet.  My instructions literally read meat, cheese, eggs and green veggies.  Do not exceed 20 g of carbs a day.  But to be honest, I'm getting tired of meat, cheese, eggs and green veggies.  I guess I should be thankful it's fairly easy.  Getting kind of excited...one week from today, I will be packing my bag so I can get to the hospital by 6:00 am....

Happy pre-op diet to all!!!

Only one week to go for you! That's exciting! Can you drink protein shakes?

I am looking at 2 weeks until my surgery. My dr requires a 3 day clear liquid diet prior to my surgery. That will be pretty intense, but short so that is a good thing. My nutritionist was saying that the 3 day liquid diet has the same affect shrinking the liver as a 2 week low carb, protein shake with 1 small meal a day type diet that I hear a lot of drs require. I guess it just depends on the dr, but I'm pleased to only have 3 days to worry about.

I have actually started doing my own partial liquid diet anyway. I started that about a week ago. I let myself have one regular meal of whatever I want. Then I have a protein shake for the other two meals, sometimes a 3rd protein shake if I get too hungry. Then no really snacks in between except sugar free drinks, jello, pudding, maybe some cottage cheese if I'm dying for more substance. Doing this I have lost 3 lbs in the last week anyway which is a miracle since I have only been going up in weight, not down at all since I had my first meeting with my surgeon.

You are on your way! Not long now!

 I have 2 weeks until surgery and I started my pre op diet yesterday. I would love to have your diet of meat and cheese. Something to make me feel like I've eaten something. I get 1000 cal and 115 grams of protein a day. All comes from protein powder in the form of shakes and adding it to jello and pudding. It's all soft solids like yogurt, applesauce, cream of wheat and V-8. All I can say is I'm hungry. At least after surgery I won't feel hungry! 

My Pre-Op diet is an 14 day all liquid diet with one protein bar a day the actual list surprised me it was more on it then I thought would be it has things like broth,skim milk,choco skim milk, soy milk, tea plain,decaf coffee plain,hot coca plain,V8 tomato or fruit,tomato soup, cream of wheat/rice thin, grits,jello,pudding, meal replacement drinks,protein shakes, sugar-free Popsicles and any sugar-free drinks (not sodas).
That's basically all of it.  My pre-op starts next Tuesday 31st my surgery date is Aug 14Th

I started my pre-op diet yesterday.

Mine is 'Optifast' which is a meal replacement regieme.
So it's soup, bar or milkshake and then I can have 2 cups of vegetables/salad a day & a table spoon of oils/fats.

I also have peppermint tea, chamomile tea and diet Jelly (Jello).

So far so good, kinda dizzy and headachey, but that's to be expected I guess!

13 sleeps to go. 

Man, this is crazy!!!! I still can't believe it's actually happening! :D

Had my pre-op assessment Monday with the hospital.  Strangest thing was they said to stop anything with herbs in it now....at least a week pre-surgery.  I just bought a sample pack of different herbal teas.    Herbal tea was my bedtime go-to, was hooked on peppermint, but decided to broaden my  horizons....guess that will have to wait. 

 That's so strange! Did they say why?

Apparently some herbal items reek havoc conflict with some medications.  I guess they say quit all cuz better safe than sorry.  Six more sleeps 'til the big day....
