Pre-op diets vary greatly...depending on the doctor, and depending on the patient.
Honestly, I think that if you're allowed food (meaning veggies, etc), you're very lucky indeed. This is what my surgeon allowed me: Gatorade, apple, grape, or cranberry juice (diluted 1/2 strength w/ water and limited to 3 cups a day); beef, chicken, or vegetable broth; SF decaff coffee or tea with no cream or cream substitute; SF jello; SF popsicles or SF frozen fruit bars; SF kool aid and Crystal Light; artificial sweeteners; and 3 SF protein drinks mixed with water only (no milk).
Mine was for 10 days. It would have normally been 14 days, but my pre-op surgery appointment was a bit late, so I got a bit of a break. I got very sick for the first 3 or 4 days, and had terrible migraines from the lack of food. I called my surgeon's office about it (hoping they'd allow me something else), but was basically told "tough luck"...but in nicer terms, lol. :rolleyes
Really, I does get easier after a few days. Hang in there.
Such an awesome 2nd surgiversary present!
