??I start my 2week liquid diet tom. does anyone have any suggestions of options to eat?

I start my 2week liquid diet tom, and it just doesnt seem like there is much to choose from but sf jello, pudding, popsicles, and cream of wheat, broth, and strained soup!!,,If anyone has suggestions to other options i would LOVE to hear them! I am a little afraid that this is going to be really really hard to get through, but i know i HAVE to do this so i will not cheat or anything, it just seems like it is really going to be a challenge ........again if anyone has any comments on how they got through i would greatly appriciate that too thanks everyone!! SURGEry DATE IS ON NOV 13TH!!

The liquid diet is not that bad. I have been on mine for 5 days now. I can only have CIB (5day) popsicles, broth, cream soups, jello, tea, water.

thanks for the post, you know when you first start you think how am i going to survive on just that, but i am sure after a few days it will be ok!

Lisa-you can do this! I would try CIB with some protein added if ok by your surgeon. I start mine on the 4th of Nov. and have surgery on the 14th. Save me a spot on the losers bench will ya? I dread the liquid diet for 10 days. I think there is a law against this kind of treatment don't you?! lol I have a colonoscopy on wed. and have to drink some horrid stuff on tuesday and then spend the day in my throne room. Oooh yeah I am looking forward to that one. Sooo, the liquid diet don't look bad from that perspective. At least the stuff is going in! lol Best of luck to you with your surgery. I will say a prayer for you. Cheryl

Oh yeah thanks for the advice, i will try that! and yeah i definately agree that there should be a law this is cruel and unusual punishment haha...BUT we both know it will be worth it in the long run...really i havent been told that i have to have a colonoscopy yet that is, not hoping for that....thanks for the wishes back at you, and i will say a prayer for you also, we are almost losers whoo hoo hehe!

Hey Lisa. I hope everything goes well for you. I just got my approval and my surgery date is Dec 5. Although I have been wanting this for a while, I now find myself scared as Heck. I will be thinking of you on your day, which is fast approaching and wish you all the best!
