I dont know what to get

Hi everybody,

I'm going to start my liquid diet in 2 days and I was in the supermarket trying to buy stuff and man, this is hard!  Can I have like creamy soups, or chicken noodles soup?  Any other ideas?

Thanks

If it is clear liquids,you can't have creamy soups,but you can have the broth from the chix noodle,but not the noodles. You can also have beef and chicken broth,sf jello,sf  fruit flavored  Popsicles,water,decaff tea and coffee without cream,any sf non carbonated drink that you can see thru. no milk or milk products.

Good luck,it will soon be over. Keep your eye on the prize.

Thanks so no yogurt either, right?  Thanks goodness it's only for 3 days....

Nope,no yogurt either. yeah,3 days is a snap...I had a 2 week preop diet!

Ugh, me too. I have 5 weeks before my two week liquid diet starts. I just have this fear that I'm going to be STARVING. Part of me is looking forward to it, though. I'm sure I'll feel better for having shruken my liver a bit.

How did yours go?

it was fine. i had three protein shakes and a protein salad a day. Plus all the sf drinks,popsicles and broth I wanted. also sf jello. if I got hungry,I had some of the allowed items.

Good luck,you'll do great!

Hey Holly,

Why did you have to do 2 weeks and I'm only doing 3 days.  I hope I have the right info I'll check with Melissa, but oh well if it was 2 weeks then too late to do it now..

I think it is because my BMI was 54. Seems like the higher BMI folks have longer preops.I'm sure you are doing the right thing. Good luck!
