I know I am going to have a day or 2 of frustration, which I will cope with.
Here the pre-surg diet that my surgeon gave me:
AM
• Protein Drink Supplement
• 1 cup skim milk or container light yogurt
Mid Morning
• Fiber Supplement (5 grams of fiber)
Noon • Protein Drink Supplement
• Fiber Supplement (5 grams of fiber)
• 1 cup skim milk or container light yogurt
Afternoon
• 1- cup raw vegetables(this can be a small salad mixed with a fat free vinaigrette dressing)
Dinner
• Protein Drink Supplement
• Fiber Supplement (5 grams of fiber)
Evening
• Protein Drink Supplement
• 1- cup skim milk or container light yogurt
• You are only allowed three servings of dairy per day. For example: if you mix one of your protein supplements with milk, then you have used one serving of dairy and are only allowed two more. If you mix three supplements with milk, then you are not allowed to have any more dairy that day. When you have used all your dairy servings, you may mix your protein powder with water.
• Be sure to include a complete multivitamin twice a day, as well as 100 ounces of free liquid (water, crystal light, decaf hot tea, diet decaf iced tea, broth, decaf coffee, propel water, sugar free jell-o, sugar free popsicles) Your are permitted to use a sugar substitute. Please note: your fiber supplements and your protein supplements count toward your 100 ounces of fluid. You may consumer over 100 ounces of the free liquids listed above if you desire. The fiber supplement three times a day equals 24 ounces and the protein supplement four times a day equals 32 ounces, so you will need to consume an additional 44 ounces of free liquid per day, but again, you may consume more.
• You can purchase your protein supplement at GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, or our office. It can be any brand as long as it contains pure whey protein isolate, at least 20 to 30 grams of protein per serving, is low fat, and has less than 5 grams of carbohydrates. Please note: If your protein supplement contains 40 grams or more of protein, you will need to cut the serving in half (i.e.: 20 grams each serving)
