Who's getting their surgery in January? I just got my insurance approval today, and I meet with my surgeon Wednesday the 16th of Dec. The scheduler said that I will most likely get my surgery on the 5th of january because he only has one scheduled on the 5th, and he is out of the office until my appointment! I am beyond excited!

The only thing that stinks is that I will be on my 2 week liquid diet during Christmas! But that's okay. I much rather suffer now than push my surgery back! Congrats everyonr! We are so close!

We all know Water and chicken broth, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to mix up the 2 weeks pre-surgery that involves Clear liquids??? And What are some of the best options for the soft foods stage?
I am so worried about doing the 2 weeks prior to surgery without my tool. I think with more variations, it might help!

@ I really liked that idea about Old Bay seasoning, I use it with chicken broth myself and it is wonderful. I also really love miso Soup, so I make a packet of that and strain out all of the seaweed and tofu.
Vitamin Water Zero and Crystal Light fruit Punch are my go-to drinks, SF popsicles and SF Jello are my Desserts.

I was all about that pickle allowance. One of the medium-big sour ones. Didn't eat one every day, but it really breaks up the sweet shakes and bland broths. Some sugar free Jello cups are nice too, just for texture.
As far as soft foods -- I'm just now getting into this/the pureed stage -- and my mom's spaghetti sauce without the meat is still awesome, I just add unflavored Protein to eat a quarter-cup. But really tender chili has gone over great, too. I got some chili from McAlisters (a Soup and sandwich shop) and did half regular and have vegetarian which is all Beans, mixed it up and eat a quarter cup at a time. Very yummy. I'm interested in some refried Beans next! Scrambled eggs are nice as long as they're still soft, but watch out if you go out somewhere and eat them. I heard IHOP puts some of their pancake batter in their eggs to make them fluffier and another person on the forums said they were much harder to eat. Cottage cheese is another soft food I'm glad to have back!
