When I saw my first surgeon, he gave me his pre-op and post-op diet instructions. Actually, his office "girl" gave it to me after much searching and questioning. The forms were in HER desk drawer. Again, red flag about changing doctors... As for the pre-op part, I had talked with the doc and voiced my concerns about having a fatty liver. I told him that I'd been taste-testing protein shakes and monitoring my eating because I didn't want a fatty liver to screw up my surgery. We discussed shakes and I told him that I really liked the Isopure Powder in vanilla. It's whey protein isolate.
When I went to the hospital for pre-op testing, part of that was meeting with a dietician. And meet her I did. I finally found her so-called office. It was a door marked Staff Only. She finally came out and we "met" in the vending machine area near the cafeteria. She gave me papers that she said were the doc's pre-op and post-op instructions. They were NOT the same as the doc gave me. She told me that I would have to do Isopure Clear during my liquids phase. If I had protein shakes, that would be the same as having dairy and no dairy until week 2. Hmmmm. The doc's instructions said Isopure Powder was fine. Then I read the label on a bottle of the vile Isopure Clear....It contains whey protein isolate and lists calcium in the nutrition facts. Uh, whey? Like from dairy/milk? WTH? Who do you trust? Eeeek.
Again, I have to say....glad I'm not using that doc!! Dodged a bullet there!
