Liquid Diet that is not sweet
I did V-8 and that did the trick. I was tired of sugar-free prior to the surgery and now can't tolerate it but I think it's too soon since I'm just four days out. I did not do the V8 the day prior--you may want to ask as they probably want to avoid the color and added acids but maybe you can for a certain time up to the surgery.
I like Isopure protein drink in the red punch flavor (whatever they call it.) It's not really sweet, but tart almost like cranberry or like red Rooibos tea. I was afraid I'd hate it because I'm feeling done with a lot of sweet things but I can tolerate it and kind of like it. One bottle = 160 cals/ 40 grams protein. I drink 1/2 bottle per day to keep my protein where it should be in addition to solid foods.
Good luck!!!
I remember just wanting something savory so bad. Celebrate Vitamins makes a Chicken Soup and Tomato Soup meal replacement. Wonton soup with the wontons strained was a nice treat too.
