what did anyone eat on their pre surgery diet
My pre surgery diet was just not eating 24 hour prior to surgery. My doctor said it depends on your BMI what you pre suregry diet is. I did eat healthy the month prior just to be safe.
I was on it for 5 days. Attached is what I drank. (See "Preoperative diet instructions, page 3.)

My surgeon did not require a pre-surgery diet. I was just no food or drinks after midnight the night before the surgery.
The few of you with no pre surgery diet were LUCKY.
4 pints of milk per day for the 16 days prior to surgery
I did 6 days of 2 shakes, a healthy meal of protein and veggies, and sugar free jello or popsicles. Then the 3 days immediately pre op I was to be on a full liquid diet. Protein shakes, broth, clear fluids ,etc.
3 weeks of Optifast products - 3 per day. I went with Bars and shakes because the soups were hideous. I was also allowed up to 1 cup a day of green vegetables. Boy, did I look forward to them :-)
