Question:
What are some choices of a pre op thin liquid diet?

Hello, I am having the RNY tomorrow, Jan 3 and my Dr. wants me to have only thin liquids the day before surgery. I have the chicken broth, the beef broth, water, and decaf hot tea. The instructions say a thin liquid diet. Liquids you can see through. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you for your tips. Kristy    — Kristy (posted on January 2, 2006)

You are doing fine and this is the only liquid you could/should have. Even so you are drinking decaf tea, don't over do it and stay away from tea for today only. Keep drinking the chicken and the beef broth. Good luck for tomorrow. I will be thinking about you. Lets hear from you when you get back home after your surgery. I think you are making the right decision for yourself.

You can also have jello. I know none of it is very appealing but the end result in amazing. Good luck tomorrow.

I think what you have sounds awesome. But, how about juices? I used apple juice, and pinapple juice. I also used the cup of soups from Cambells. Best of luck to you.
