Pre-OP Liquid Diet!!

This weekend starts my Pre0p Liquid Diet......May I ask what some of you post-op ppl did for liquid diet ...Protein?...Vitamins...what do you take as liquids.....broth? SF jello? what?.....Please let me know..................Craig Lee

Craig This is a list of things I could have on my liquid diet: Tea Coffee Juice (apple, pineapple) Koolaide Flavor Water Broth (Chicken or Beef) SF Popsycles SF Jello Adkins Shakes But now I found the ON 100% gold standard (it is really good) Alot of my hunger was head hunger and I would freeze koolaide to a slushie state and eat it. Plus I chewed gum alot and SF hard candy. Good luck I know you can do this with out a problem. Are you going to be at the Support Meeting on Monday?? If so I have several sample packets of protein & pudding for you. So yu can try them without buying them first. Love ya Melissa

my folder doesnt say anything about a liquid diet it says to eat a low fat, low cal. low carb diet the 10 days before surgery. and the day before have nothing but clear liquids Your folder tells you to have a liquid diet??? Wonder what is the difference Jan

Craig, I only had to be on clear liquid the day before, and as Jan said low fat, low carb the other days. I ate good balanced meals like baked chicken, vegetables, fruits and even baked potatoe 1 or 2 times that week. Stay away from high fat and hig carb. The purpose is to shrink your liver as much as possible. Make sure you drink liquids. It is only liquid the day before. Unless they changed the book I agree with Jan. Colette

I have the same notebook that Jan has. I'm wondering too what the difference between ours and yours could be. Linda
