Karen,

I was on a week of liquid diet pre-op and was allowed 3 slim fasts, no diet soda and all the clear broth I wanted.  I would imagine that it would be fine.  The object is to shrink the liver and they are trying to keep fats and calories to a minimum yet make sure you get nutrients.  Also very important, drink LOTS of fluids, water to keep you hydrated, as you will be doing your anesthesiologist and nurses and yourself a big favor when trying to start IV or draw blood.

Good luck with your surgery and prayers and thoughts coming your way.

thats really great!! your doing so well...and i could really see your weight loss on youtube...your looking great girl...keep up the good work

12 lbs lost is Awesome !! I'm down 10 lbs from surgery. They told me since I wasn't that big I"ll lose it slower !! Any weight loss is a winner !! It will come  ! Keep up the great work !

I started my liquid diet today ... only have to do it for a week.  Anyways ... I am allowed up to 6 SF Carnation instant breakfast's a day and as much SF drinks as I can drink ... water being my main one.  I want to know about Chicken Bouillon ... I am only on day 1 of the shakes and I need some other flavor than vanilly, chocolate or strawberry lol.  So I was thinking for "dinner" I could have a cup of Chicken Bouillon.  It's nutrition facts are : 5 calories, NO fat and says NO sugars.  Well, when I read the ingredients it says :  Salt, SUGAR, etc.  Well, there is not g's of sugar in the nutrition facts, but says its made with sugar.  Is there just not ENOUGH sugar to put it in the nut. facts?  I know its only a week, and I could go without bouillon/broth ... but just want something different.  TIA

Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
