Started pre op diet today!

[annemieke_loves]

Hi all, I've started my pre op diet today, it's ok now, but I think I'll struggle after a bit, it seems so limited!!
All there's on the sheet I've been given:
Clear soup
Sugar free jelly
Clear fluids (tea/sugar free squash/blacktea-coffee)
2 eggs
Steamed fish/chicken/quorn-------> I'll have to skip this as I'm vegetarian and absolutely can't eat quorn, makes me ill
Green veg and salad
3x small portion fruit
3-4 liters fluid a day


It says, anything not on the list is strictly not allowed!
Does this seem right?

Yes mine was 6pints of milk and an oxo cube and sugar free jelly only. It's supposed to be a hardcore very limited liver shrinking diet for your own safety. Stick to the guidelines or you may wake up to find they've refused to do your op

Yer it's true I know someone who cheated and they didn't do the operation as the first port they put in is the camera to see if your liver has shrunk

Oh gawd, I'm dreading to see what I'll get in my inbox tomorrow, the coordinator has told me that she's sending it then, and not to worry, it's "just" 0% fat! JUST? Ah! For this low-carber, that's going to be a tough one!

I know I can do it, but doesn't mean I'm looking forward to it!

Lol, I don't want to cheat, but it sure is tempting lol!really struggling with the amount of fluid, I doubt I'll get half in what I'm supposed to!
So far I've had 1 banana, 2 small satsumas, small punet of strawberries, 1 oxo cube with 500 ml water, some water and 1 cup of sugar free squash.

My girls just had a yummie ice cream, lucky them lol!

Gosh, hope surgery wouldn't be abandonned with me, as I'm paying for it private!

Btw, what can I use to make the egg (I want to scramble them)

 

[Yvessa]

You should be able to use frylight, but check with your provider

It doesn't last long. After a couple of days pre op gets easier. X

 

[annemieke_loves]

Gosh, I hope so, I'm not coping well ATM, I know it's only my first day!!
