Pre-Op

I am in the 2 wks liquid diet pre-op and i am having a very hard time trying to stick with the liquid...I started on Friday and my surgery is schedule for the 25th. I had already started drinking the slimfast more frequently just to kind of get use to it. My problem is just thinking about drinking it all day everyday for 2 wks. Is there anything else that can help?? And what about the broth what can one use as far as the broth goes can I use the little bullon cubes and mix it with hot water or what PLEASE HELP and ALL SUGGESTIONS are welcomed!!!

I made a huge pot of chicken noodle soup right before I started my preop diet. I gave the "goodies" to my friend and kept just the broth and used it during my preop...I think it's the only thing that helped me survive it.

Recipe...

1 or 2 boneless skinless chicken breast

1 lb bag of baby carrots cut into pieces

2 Large ribs of celery

1 medium size onion

3 or 4 cloves of garlic chopped fine

lawry's season salt to taste

salt and pepper to taste

6 to 8 boullion cubes

noodles

Bring all of this to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the onion is translucent, take out chicken and chop into bite size pieces, add back to the pan. Bring back to a boil, add noodles and cook according to package directions.

It's YUMMY hope this helps. Good luck on your surgery let me know how you do.

Thnxs so much for the recipe..it seems that this should help...I was just gonna throw some boullion cubs in a pot of boiling water and use that...didnt know if that would work but ur recipe sounds so much better!!
