Powerade Zero (variety of flavors), Swanson chicken, Beef, and Vegetable Broths, Bai 5 calorie drinks, Goya Bouillon packets, sugar free popsicles, and of course good old plain Water.
With the broth, I like to put a little garlic powder or other seasonings for taste. Nothing like pepper because that my irritate your stomach. Also,for me, I found that the colder or the hotter the liquid, the easier it went down. For example, the Popsicles and the broth went down quite easily for me.

Any clear liquid suggestions? I'm scheduled for 9/25. And want to start stocking up

My gastric sleeve surgery is scheduled for this coming Thursday. I have been panicking, and as a result, I have been eating one big meal per day since my two week liquid pre-op diet started! I have been doing liquids for the majority of the day, but end up caving by the time evening comes. Yesterday was a good day because I stuck to the liquids. However, I'm petrified now because it's so close to my surgery, and this evening was not a good one. Any words of encouragement or advice on what to do? Is there any way that i will still be ok by Thursday?

It can I've actually heard this a lot from different ppl. Another surgeon I was considering allows his patients to eat watever up until the day before bc he knows his patients wont be able to for a long time or ever again.
Doctors also have different pre op diet requirements. My surgeon allows meat, green veggies, eggs, and cheese. No carbs. I decided to do like a liquid/pureed food diet because I want to lose a few pounds before surgery since he made it very clear I cannot gain any weight before the surgery!

You need to start to follow your pre-op plan immediately. The main purpose of it is to reduce the size of your liver so the surgeon can move it aside to access your stomach. If you don't comply there is a chance the surgeon won't be able to complete your surgery or non-compliance can lead to increased risk of complications.
Try not to panic. Take a deep breath and know that your surgeon will be doing everything s/he can do to keep you safe. Trust in the process and commit to follow all instructions going forward from today. You can do this!

I am not sure what you mean by "big meal." My preop diet was 10 days with 2 shakes and one meal of veg and lean Protein.

I had a couple of slips and the last 3 days prior went full liquid. I lost 16 lbs in those two days and the liver was in good shape.

Are you loosing weight?
