Liquid Diet help!

Hello everyone, On Wednesday 7/7, I start my liquid diet. I am stumped as to what to eat for these 2wks. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance! ~love and prayers~ MICHELLE

Dr. Cox told me all protein, but he didn't say it had to be liquid! I've been doing eggs, cheese, meat, poultry, fish. If I need a snack, I have cheese cubes and pepperoni. Hugs, Erika L

Hmmmmm, all liquid or all protein????? Don't you two have the same surgeon? I'll take protein over liquid any day, besides I dont think I would like blended cheese and pepperoni very much Take care, Ladies! Amy

Thank's Erika~ I love Pepperoni, is that something we can have post-op as well? Since I have not met with Dr. Cox yet, I think I am going to stick with the liquid diet atleast until my appt. with him on the 15th. I don't want him to think I did not follow the rules from the Info./nutrition session. ~love and prayers~ MICHELLE

My doctor has now been having all his patients do protein shakes and all liquids for 2 weeks before surgery also in order to up our protein plus shrink that darn liver. I plan to live on protein shakes like Unjury and All The Whey and Roadside Lemonade and the like. I'd also do jello and soup broth and sugar free popsicles. This will be basically the same exact diet you'll be on post-op initially.

Jan~ Thanks for the idea's! I plan to hit the grocerry store this evening to stock up on stuff for these 2wks. ~love and prayers~ MICHELLE

Michelle, Now don't get too confused! Why not get in touch with the nutritionist and see what advice she can give you! Good luck sweetie, God Bless Johanna

Johanna, Hi love! Looking back thru my binder I got from Deborah and the nutritionist, there are a few good ideas in here I wrote down. Thanks, ~love and prayers~ MICHELLE

I am on my pre op liquid diet. It stinks!!!! I've cheated, but very little and I called the nutr. about it and she said to try not to but I could eat 1 serv of protein up until 2 days before then just liquid. I'm eating alot of sf popcicles and sf jello, I mix vanilla protein shakes with Dannon light'n fit yogurt, I mix choc. shake mix with carb countdown choc milk and ice in a blender...they're actually pretty good, I also eat chicken broth, but that's pretty much it...oh yeah and she said I could mix sf pudding up with some splenda...it's pretty good. Good luck with the liquid thing though!!!!

Sara, Thanks for the ideas! I am definitly not looking forward to it either, but I am still just so happy I am at the point where I can ask this questions. Thanks ~love and prayers~ MICHELLE
