pre-op diet started

Jun 03, 2011

so i have started the pre-op liquid diet , it was day 1 today ,oh saved me , was feeling so hungry but kept on reading forum after forum to get my mind of hunger.
my nut has asked me to do a all liquid diet and liquid's with viscosity. and i also have to take 2 vlcd sachets in a day. i bought a hand blender to help me with the shakes soups etc. it is working awesome . 
my nut has also advised me to take no sugar substitutes and limit my salt intake to 1/2 tsp. in a day , and also i can not take any packed juices , which i am finding very ridiculous . so i wrote an e-mail to her , with all the questions in my mind.

here is the e-mail i sent her:

Hello doctor, I have some questions regarding my liquid diet that I am following at the moment for my bariatric surgery on 14^Th June.

1. Can I use nutralite or olive oil to temper the dal, so it tastes good ?
2. Can I have fruit juices of mango?
3. Can I blend the vlcd sachet with Sugar free chocolate syrup?
4. Why should I avoid the packed juices, if they do not have added sugar and I count the calories I intake, and don’t go over 800 as recommended by you?
5. can I take crystal fructose , sold by the company japtose’s  www.diabeticsugar.com
6. Can I take wheat grass juice?
7. and why is the salt intake less than 1tp
8. Will low salt low sugar substitute and no packed juices help me in shrinking the liver in any way, for the surgery, or is it to just stimulate good eating habits in Me.?

well I am you asking stuff about the taste enhancers because if I have to make a life altering decision and stick to it , it should taste good , because if it doesn't’t than I doubt ill be able to stick to it for a very long time .


lest see what her reply is
later
