Full Liquid Advice?
Alright ladies and gents- I start my 7 day full liquid diet next week. So I'm going this weekend to get everything I need to carry me through the pre op full liquid to the post op full liquid, including the clear liquids in between. (I'll be doing 7 day full -> 1 day clear-> SURGERY -> 4-6 day clear ->4-6day full -> 4-6 day soft to pureed)
Anways, I've already compiled a shopping list. Does anyone have anything to add? I'm a vegetarian, mostly vegan- no animals or eggs. I will do milk products right now.
Clear Liquid
Isopure Zero Carb
SF ice pops
SF vegan Jello
Vegetable broth
Tons of smar****er or propel
Full Liquid
BSN Syntha 6 protein shake mix (my favorite- yummy. I hope I still like it post op!)
SF yogurt
Diet v8- fruit flavored
Soymilk
97-98% fat free Cream Soups (I'll strain them)
SF Puddling Mix (I already have Micellar Milk to mix it with)
Also- any ideas of ways to keep yourself distracted during this period? Where I work there is always food literally right behind me (currently there is a huge plate of holiday cookies, kettle cooked popcorn, a bunch of different candy, chocolate dipped pretzels, etc). Reps bring them in, especially during the holidays. The only thing I've thought of so far is to go for a walk, and drink a protein shake or something). Ideas?
Thanks for all your help!

I don't know if you have tried the isopure but it tastes pretty bad, i thought so anyway, so my nutritionist told me to make popsicles out of it. .tastes much better that way. She also told me told me to boil varous fruits and just drink the juice from it. .I also made popsicles out of that. .hope that adds some variety for you
