48 hour Liquids Survey

Good morning everyone, Ok as you know Mish and I are coming up on our 48 hour clear liquid pre-op diet. Any suggestions, tips and tricks you can pass on are VERY appreciated! So far I have on hand: Decaf iced tea ( I drink that alot anyway ) Flavored carbonated waters Diet soda ( figure I will enjoy the carbonation now lol ) Chicken broth Sugar free popcicles I got some different flavored ramen noodle soups and figured I will ditch the noodles and use the flavor packets for better tasting broth. Jello I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Maybe I will clean the house some more. Are you aware that as of last night I have spring fresh garbage cans? lmao

Sounds like a plan Don't forget... no red jello, and it needs to be s/free Good luck.

Sounds good - plan some activities too. I am not sure but I think the raman noodle packs have a ton of sodium, may not want to load up on too much? They may have changed the rules but I wasn't allowed to have any diet soda, even clear stuff.

Hi Kathy, I won't be loading on the ramen broth. I just figured it would be a nice change when I'm ready to scream LOL. I double checked my paperwork and we have the for clear diet soda now. Hard to keep up with this ever changing program huh. Hope you're feelin good!

Linda, all I ate the last 2 days was chicken broth, lemon popsicles and white cranberry juice. Nothing colored or with sugar. I stayed busy and it went pretty fast. If I were you I'd go to the PMRI class to take my mind off the next day and be around other support people. Group support. Try to relax. You are so close. Just trust in Dr. Irgau & Dr. Wynn, they are really good Linda. Nothing to worry about now, all of it is behind you niow. Hope your weekend goes quickly. Call me if you get nervous. Charlie and I are in the Delaware phonebook. I'll try to make you laugh. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Take notes for me Linda and Mish. I'm only a couple of weeks behind you! Ken

Good morning, Linda... I think you've just about covered everything. I just wanted to mention that I after 24 hrs of chicken broth, I switched to the Progressive and Chunky soups drained. Give hubby the meats/potatoes, you drink the tasty broth! (((hugs))) -Karen

Don't forget to drink water during the 48 hours period. It's good practice. Helps to keep things moving. Can I borrow your garbage cans? Best wishes. Rob
