LIQUID DIETS!!!!!

Hi everyone, I stated before, Dr. S put me on a slim fast liquid diet, being diabetic, I have (I am) trying to drink the low carb. Let me tell you, !!!!!!! It is nasty. No solid foods allowed, but what about chicken boullion cubes? I have to be on this until Sunday, I am having caffene withdrawals too. But I can handle it, but I sure do hate that low carb stuff, but if this is what it takes, so be it.

I was on his diet too and I didt the boullion cubes. Good Luck

Hey Brenda I'm not too sure about boullion cubes.. they seem high in salt to me, you may wanna see if you can't find a reduced salt boullion maybe? I'm just thinking you don't necessarily wanna drive up your blood pressure this close to surgery? Them liquid diets suck. Can you do protein shakes with skim milk? If you already got powder, you should be able to use them. As your doc??? Most of the ones I have tried were sugar fee or very low sugar so it's fine if you're a diabetic ( was one before I lost all my weight ) Caffeine withdrawals are the pits. I think my headache lasted a whole week. You can take Tylenol for sure, if that's what you're going thru. I'm so excited that it's finally your turn I know the waiting game sux but its soooooooooooo worth it.. Just hang in there.. its NOT that you'll never eat things again, YOU WILL!! Just gotta heal and then start eating slowly again. I'm almost 2 yrs out now.. eating things I like, just making low fat low sugar choices and not eating like the hog I was before. GOOD LUCK and I'll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers! ~Andie~

Thank you both. The boullion is low sodium, I am getting used to decaf, no headache today, actually, the wal mart brand taste pretty good, I May not go back to regular on down the road.

You CAN do it! You CAN do it!!!! (I am being your cheerleader!) I didn't do slim fast, but was on a two day liquid diet (I did 4 days just in case!) and could have anything liquid, but without sugar! smoochies Arlies
