started liquid pre-op diet today!

Ok so the carnation instant breakfast is not as bad as I thought it would be!  But have a question, can I add frozen fruit to it and put it in the blender - is that considered full liquid?  I am sipping at my water bottle all day long!  Did anyone try broth, that doesn't even sound good to me!!   wow I can't believe my surgery is one WEEK from tomorrow!!  ahhhh!!  But I am ready, the closer it gets I will probably get more nervous!

I would check with your surgeon to see if adding fruit is allowed.  Each MD is different.  I was allowed CIB with protein powder, broth, sugarfree popsicles, V-8 juice, sugarfree jello, crystal light.  The broth hit the spot when I wanted something warm to drink.  Everything else allowed seemed sweet, got to dislike continuous sweetness with what I was drinking. 

Welcome to the group, so glad to see you posting.  The neervous feelings are normal, along with anticipation, fear, eagerness, all wrapped up together at times.  You are making a courageous step in your life for better health.  Here to support you.  Hugs, Kathy

Thanks Kathy- I will check with them tomorrow..... I know I am already getting tired of drinking sweets!  So I may try the broth later on.....  I love this group- everyone is so warm and friendly!

I would almost bet you will love the broth more than you can imaine after about 2 or 3 days of the other stuff. It is nice to have something that tastes like "real" food.
Best of luck to you gal! You are gonna do great! Make sure you keep us posted please!
