Hi, I'm new to the site but as I have been reading up on forums that have been posted, I noticed that most pre-op diets were between 7- 14 days long. Some diets were all liquid diets and other were allowed some solids (mainly protein). My surgeon requires that I go on a 4 week all liquid diet (protein shakes, broth, sugar free jello/popcicles). Has anyone else had to go this long on nothing but liquids? Also if you guys could give me any advice/recipes/recommendations for getting through this first part I'd greatly appreciate it!!! THANKS!!!

I am still doing my 6 months of meeting with a dietician (3 more to go!)... but I am required to do FOUR weeks of the liquid diet Pre-Op! So any advice from either of you would help a great deal!
