The Pre-Op Liquid Diet


Two weeks before surgery I am required to be on a liquid diet.  The shakes provide 800 calories and 108 grams of protein.  The protein is made by New Direction - Weight Loss System, available in 4 flavors (Chocolate, Strawberry, Mocha and Vanilla).

The liquid diet consists of:

4 meal replacement shakes (mixed with water only)
Water
Sugar-Free beverages (i.e. Crystal Light)
Decaf coffee or tea
Clear Broth
Sugar-Free popsicles and sugar-free jello

NOTHING ELSE! NO DIET SODA ETC..NO CAFFEINE...OH I DO LIKE MY MORNING CUP OF COFFEE!
