2 week pre op diet
I just started mine yesterday...
no more than 30 grams carbs a day
at least 70 grams of protein daily
very very limited or no fats
the day before surg clear liquids only (water, sugar-free jello, popsicles, crystal light, broth tea)
day of surg nothing
Like I said, I started yesterday. I didn't get up to the 70 grams of protein, but i did stay under 30 grams of carbs... my calories were 311... crazy right!... my stomach didn't growl until I laid down lastnight, but I went to sleep...
Here is what I had yesterday... today and the rest of the 12 days will look like this..
Bfast
1/2 c jello (sugarfree) - no carbs
Lunch
pickles x 4 - no carbs (2 snack and 2 lunch)
turkey (lunch meat, thin sliced the whole package)
Dinner
3oz of chicken
1c of salad
1 hr later I had a sugar free popsicle
Today I added 1/4 cup of fresh peanut butter to my breakfast and I lost two pounds yesterday.
