Have you tried Fruit Refreshers? You can get them at Kmart or I get them at my local grocery store. They are 0 carbs, 0 sugar (sweetened with Splenda), 0 caffiene, 0 fat. I love the Strawberry Kiwi and the lemonade.

Hey Nadine,
The Slim-Fast Low Carb is not real bad, I have been on liquids for 2 weeks and it does get boring, but I am so scared to put food in my mouth even though the Dr said I could have one high protein low carb meal per day, because I got a little sick and de-hydrated, make sure you get alot of water on top of all the other liquids because you san still get de-hyrated believe me.
Sorry for ratteling on, God Bless and Good Luck, Sherry
Hi Nadine,
You are so lucky your Doctor only has you on all Liquids for 3 days. My requires it 2 weeks before Surgery and 4 weeks after surgery. I'm into my 3rd. day. We are required to drink at least 5 Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar add) with a scoop of powdered Protein and 8oz's of 2% Milk a day. We also can have clear Broths, SF Jello, SF Popsicles, Crystal Light, 2 cups of weak Decaf Coffee or Tea, and water. I buy the Basic Kitchen Brand of Broth, it comes in a 32oz carton an has no fat and very low salt, very good. Comes in Beef, Chicken and Veg.
Good Luck with your Diet and for a speedy recovery.

Nadine,
I'm due to begin my two day liquid diet before surgery on Monday. Just like you, I've been racking my brain to come up with a clear liquid that will keep my mind off of how hungry I am...and then it came to me....
