Minute Maid

I love this stuff. It is so good and I was getting so sick of koolaid and crystal light. My son starts the full liquid diet today for 10 days/ Does anyone know what that is? I never had that one before. He is having his surgery in 10 days with Dr. Curry. I feel so sorry for anyone who has to do this but good luck. Cindy

Hey Cindy, how ya doin' gf? Wow, I never had to do a pre-op diet either, and your son is also with with Dr. Curry? I'm assuming the minute maid is sugar free? I will definitely check it out........ sounds good! My best to your son. La

I forgot,yes it is sugar free. I just found you can get it in cans and all three flavors and soooooooo good. They come in 12 packs.yummy

Cindy, drop Erin an email early morning she will send you a copy of the full liquid diet. Even though it is not on her list (unless she added it now) he CAN have creamed soups, thought I was gonna starve until she let me know that.

Thank you so much for your imput. I thought he could but he doesnt believe me. What kind of creamed soups did you have? He thinks it is only clear broth. He is driving me nuts.. I am so afraid he is going to starve to death lol. Thanks, love,Cindy

I had to do a full liquid diet for a week and then a clear liquid diet for a week before my surgery. The full liquid diet he can have, strained creamed soups, tomato soup, popsickles, jello, pudding, broths. Then the clear liquid is only broths, popsickles, jello and thats about it. I wish him luck. This diet is very hard. I did it once for the two weeks and then my surgery got canceled, then I had to redo it again. I had a hard time with it the second time around and my Dr suggested a little protein a day. The reason why they do this diet is so that your liver shrinks and is not heavy so the chances of damanging the liver are slim. Hope this helps you guys out Michelle

I was so happy when I discovered Minute Maid Lite. Up until then, I was drinking Fruit2O, which I love, but needed something a little different and the lemonaide flavor was just the thing. It's 5 calories per can and has 0 grams of sugar. Unfortunately, it also has 0 grams of protein. If it weren't for Minute Maid Lite, I doubt I'd be able to get all my "water" in each day. Judy
