Topic: RE: Hi June Surgery Dates!!Are you all on Liquid Pre Op Diets??
Greek yogurt has been my savior in this whole thing. For after with no sugar, I have the plain (Fage is my favorite brand) with the sugar free daVinci syrups. Very tasty...

Hi all -
I am scheduled 6/28 @ Baptist Health in Little Rock, AR.
Liquids started on the 14th.... It hasn't been that bad... the key is knowing head hunger passes, and real hunger can be satiated by water or any of the approved items!
Oh and for all my Pre-Op Liquidation go-ers....
Liquid in Liquid out.... Get some baby sipes so you don't get rashes.
I am living on greek yogurt, muscle milk light, and sf jello cups.
G'luck all!

Topic: Discovered a good source for pre-op broth

I posted this on the RNY forum, but thought I would share this here as well.
My kids love veggies, and brussel sprouts are a real treat for them. I never used to buy them, but one day they started begging me for them. They prefer the frozen vs. the fresh ones for some reason, so I get those. Each time I get them I do them a little different to experiment.
Tonight I had some leftover beef broth that I wasn't particularly fond of and so I added about 1/2-1 c of that to the pot the sprouts were in, then added enough water just to cover them. I did not set out for this to be a broth for me, so I added two Tbsp of butter, minced garlic, a chicken bouillon cube and an onion bouillon cube and a little salt and pepper. I covered pot w/lid and turned on high to steam/simmer and just as it started to boil, turned off burner and let set about 15 mins.
Kids DEVOURED them and in taste testing the broth for flavoring for them, I find it very good! So I made myself a small bowl of it and it was quite tasty!! Probably should not have had the butter, but it was very good anyway!!
