Help with pre op diet

Ok, I have been put on a 3 day liquid diet and a 7 day protein diet "Sues high entergy" if anyone has heard of it. I am trying really hard, but I can not stand the taste of this stuff. I am making myself eat it anyway, because I know how important that it is, but it is so hard. Any way to flaver it or do something to it so it wont gag me. I don't want to have to have my surgery resceduled.

I am not familiar with what you are eating/drinking.  Can you tell me more? Eliza

Its a powder that you mix with water. My doctor requires all his patients to do this before surgery so there is less risk in nicking your liver.

If it is sweet, try mixing it with skim milk instead.  I didn't have to do this, so I can't help you much other than to say, it will end!  I was only on a full liquid diet. It was the hardest part of the whole thing, so it does get better. Eliza

I have to drink protien shakes for 2 weeks before my surgery to help reduce fatty tissue around my liver too.  The brand is Myocel or something like that and although the directions say to mix w/ water or 2% or less milk, they told me at my surgeons office to never use water so I use skim milk.   Are you allowed to put bananas in it?  I am allowed to have fruits and veggies plus one lite meal a day so I had bananas to my shakes and that makes them actually very tasty.  Hang in there.  I hear that this is the hardest part so WE CAN DO THIS!   Jackie

Try getting the why protein powder from walmart.  It does the same thing as the one you are drinking.  What he wants is you to do the liquid to lose the most weight and bylosing this weight, your liver and other organs will get rid of extra fat and make it easier for him to do the lap procedure.  Don't drink  it if you can't, instead, to insure success, get the vanilla whey from walmart in the medicine section and flavor it with penut butter and fruit.  Just blend it with sim milk and put the fruit and a cube of ice, it will taste heavenly.  

Thank everyone for your help. I am doing better today. I don't know if i can have fruit. I can have suger free jello (i am living off it) and no calorie foods. Cant find much no calorie though lol. I can also have diet soda, (thank goodness) love my  diet mt dew. I know this is hard, but the outcome is worth it so much. Good luck to everyone on upcoming surgerys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holly

Try sprinkling in some sugar free fat free jello powder. They really help make shakes taste yummy!

I use fruit in my shakes.  Also, I've been using the wal  mart brand of the crystal lite singles packs.  They are sugar free and taste wonderful in the shakes.  You can do it!!! Good luck!!!!!
