PRE- OPT Diet questions

[Tara2sassy4u]

I sent an email out to Dr. Miranda, but have not hear back yet. Can anyone out there help with some of these questions

I started my pre-opt diet and scheduled for surgery on 9-12. I have a few questions that I am hoping you can help me with.

1. Can I snack on the veggies listed below that are in the sald during the day and thru the day if done in moderation

2. It says we can snack on sugar free Jello- does that also work for sugar free pudding?

3. I added 4oz of soy milk and 1/2 bannana to my protein shake that states is 130 calories, is adding the milk and bannana okay

4. Can we snack on fruit at all if we're hungry like specifically an apple or would it be better to have vegatable soup?

5. Can you have the lean cuisine during the day and have a shake in the evening?

6. Can I subsitiute a small chicken breast or lean meat and broccoli instead of lean cuisine for dinner- need to have some real food. Do they just tell you to do the Lean Cuisine because its already portioned control for you?

Thanks Banders! Appreciate the help,

Tara

My surgery is on the 19th and I am doing pre-op diet. What I have been doing is the slim fast in the AM, then I chew on some apples, then slim fast for lunch and a small salad. Then my lean cuisine for dinner. So far everyone at work is impressed with my weight loss. I think I am down about 6 pounds. My scale is acting up so I am not sure exactly, but I can get my old pants on, so something is working. I would be careful at eating too much, gotta get that weight off for the surgery. I am scarred I wont lose enough. So I am really watching what I eat. Good luck and see you in bandland..
