What should the composition of a pre op diet be?

Thank you. So far, it has been, track you food and prioritize protein. Bu I know enough to know that eating protein means fats will be involved. And eating bars and shakes mean carbs and fats will be involved. I've really struggled with getting the ratios right because I didn't know what to shoot for. Your information really helps. Thank you 😊

My team really wanted to make sure I got enough protein. They don't ask me to count fat grams or carbs. But my portions post surgery are so limited that it automatically keeps those 2 numbers low. Meat is only 2-3 oz and it is supposed to be lean meat - if poultry, skin off. Carbs is only 1/4 cup potato, rice or pasta. Or one slice bread. Here they recommend eating 3 meals per day and 2-3 snacks per day. If you would like my post surgery diet, I could write out the basics for you. But remember that it is followed by people after surgery so it may be very difficult to follow for a prolonged period pre surgery.
