Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi all. I'm looking for some advice, support and words of wisdom. My surgeon wants all his preops to go on a 2 week liquid protein diet immediately preop...shake at breakfast, shake for lunch, and shake for dinner along with broth, water and sugar free jello. No coffee, sodas or caffienated teas (crystal light is ok). Here's my issue...My stomach is still the size of a football. I AM HUNGRY!!!! I have no problem knowing that post op this will be my life for awhile but I don't know if I can do this now. I only had 400 calories yesterday (used Unjury with milk). How did any of you who had to adhere to this diet survive pre op??? Thanks, Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
