Pro Op Diet

Jan 05, 2015

Two days until surgery!

My pre op diet hasn't been too terrible either. The guide lines are 70-80 carbs, 70-90 protein and between 800-1000 calories. I've found that a great way to stay within the limits is simply a piece of cheese/yogurt for breakfast with a glass of water. For lunch I usually have two weight watchers chicken breasts (140 calories each with 31 grams of protein) with spices over them and I eat the same thing for dinner. Snacks are either a piece of cheese or yogurt and I allow myself three a day. Puts me at about 920 calories with some wiggle room if I get really hungry but my carbs are pretty low while my protein is extremely high. I usually don't find myself too hungry either.

I'm a little nervous about Thursday but I can't help but to be excited either. I'm not allowed to eat or drink after midnight but I still have to take my blood pressure medicine that morning... DRY! Yuck! I think that'll be one of the worse things ever. Well I won't write until probably Friday or Saturday to desribe what it's like so see ya then!!
