Can anyone confirm that beetroot is a good or ok salad ingredient whilst on the pre op diet please? My sheet just says salad plus protein at lunch time.
I love beetroot but I'm thinking it's probably not ok with it being so tasty sigh!!
Oh right.. so are we not supposed to have root vegetables? I had carrots along with my other vegetables for yesterday's tea. My diet sheet just says a small amount of meat/fish/2 eggs/quorn/tufu along with salad (at lunchtime) and vegetables (at dinner time) plus one small potato or two tables spoons of rice or pasta.
I should perhaps ring my dietician and get confirmation.
Something is happening though as I am constantly off to the loo lol!!
Mine said any veg as long as it grew above the ground and not under. He was quite stricy about it as well, i asked can i have carrots and he said. Margaret do they not grow under the ground or did you not understand lol
Most veg that grows underground are quite carb (therefore sugar) dense so won't get rid of the glycogen to allow your liver to shrink so check if you are on a low carb diet. My dietician was strict about my carbs on the pre-op
