Trying to make the 5 day Liquid Diet

Hi WL Family: I am going CRAZY with this liquid diet; because there is a limited amount of things I eat/drink. I can handle: Various broth; Jello, Tea and water. I CANNOT handle: Black Coffee, or Apple Juice. Can someone please give creative ideas to help me make it through this.

Juli, are you able to drink broths, cream soups, protein drinks? How about the smoothie drinks that V-8 makes. How about tomato juice? What you should do is call your doctor's office and ask what exactly is on your list of liquids that you can drink.

I assume this is the diet before the surgery to shrink up your liver and get rid of the fatty deposits to make the RNy easier??? My son also was so fed up with the liquid diet. He did do snow cones though and Mr. Misty's. We doubled checked to make sure the stuff didn't have to be SF. They said oh no way before surgery because he would get too weak if he didn't have sugar since he was going on clear liquid diet. He had to do his for seven days. Luckilly when I had my RNY that was not required by the office. Good luck to you...it's hard... Ramona 346/162

WL Family: Thanks much for the update/advice on the liquid diet. Today, I called Dr. Tiesenga's office but my calls were not returned. I think I will try smoothies and creams. I'm having terrible headaches and dizzy spellls --This isn't good, while drive an hour to and from work-- Again, I thank you!
