Thank you Dana. I will really miss the FOCC because I really enjoy it and all its variations. My daughter is coming to help look after me after the surgery and she and my husband will share the cooking, so I'll share this Info with her. ?
Thanks for all the support, you are a good group.

Hi Jean,
To add to what Rahel already said, I would stay off FOCC 7 days before and after. If you are having a colon cancer surgery, then the hospital will give you instructions that you have to follow. You would not be able to eat any fiber, and not only ground flaxseeds but no fruits either as they too have fiber. If your juicer has pulp, you will have to filter it off. The only thing I wouldn't do is eat white rice and white bread [their suggestion] as it has no fiber but it might constipate you as bad as it did me.
My best wishes to you for a successful surgery,
Dana

Shalom Jean,
Yes, as Rod has suggested, avoid eating the Flax Seed Oil (and hence FOCC) from five to seven days before the surgery.? You should probably also avoid it for another five or seven days AFTER the surgery, to allow proper healing of the wound.? However, not eating FOCC does not mean not following the Budwig Protocol.? Continue to avoid all the foods that are not allowed (meat, fish, chicken, eggs, and so on...).? Avoid all oils other than a small amount of coconut oil. ?
I am guessing that perhaps in this case, a small amount of olive oil might be permitted, in salads, or added to cooked food AFTER they are removed from the heat.? Sandra, can you confirm?
Continue to eat only clean whole foods. Continue to follow the rest of the protocol, including juicing and green tea. ?
Wishing you a successful surgery!
Rahel
