I started my clear liquid diet on 12/31! Today is the halfway mark, I'm scheduled for surgery 1/14! my plan allows for clear liquids & protein shakes, I've been using the premier shakes from Costco. They have been my saving grace, so far it hasn't been to hard but tv commercials can really mess with your head.

I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we could all share our pre-op diet. The differences will be interesting.
Things you might include; length, type, if liquid what is meant by liquid for your?. Do you use a commercial shake? When you say clear liquids does it mean clear as in see thru or clear as in no stuff in it.
I am on a two week liquid diet. It is 5 BetterMD (wonderslim) shakes a day. I am allowed some veggies to crunch on this time, I wasn't when banded. I also can have CL and diet splash and some other SF clear drinks. Mine means clear as in no stuff in it as shakes made with milk aren't see thru. The day before I can only have a fruit drink shake made with water. No milk or veggies. Nothing after Midnight.
I start on the 7th. This will be the second time for me.

I'm right there between you two. I did my pre-admission on 1/2 and the last nurse/nutrition class for instructions on 1/3 and start my liquid diet on 1/7.
