I have surgery 8/17 and I am midstream on the liquid diet. What's really helped me is making my own broth. I went to costco and purchased their rotisserie chicken because all the fat has been drained off. In a large roaster filled to the top with Water. I put all the vegy's and spices and roasted it another 4-5 hours. Strained the liquid gold. Froze the vegy's to puree in the next stage, deboned and froze the very tender chicken also for the puree stage. Put the broth in 1-2 cup portions and froze. I take the broth with a Protein 2o grape or berry clear drink. I only do the shakes 1-2 times a day depending on how I feel. Unjury Protein Powder w/Fairlife skim milk are amazing no aftertaste or cringing to get it down. I blend it with a few ice cubes and it a chocolate shake. Always have a bowl of sugar free Jello and Popsicles on hand. I've done 3 chickens so far have enough in the freezer to get me to my surgery. Also, tonight I made stew for my husband and again filled the roaster with water, meat, vegy's to get broth before I thicken it for his stew so I pretend I'm eating dinner with my spouse.... The protein 2o waters have really saved me much easier to get down. They taste like the Bai drinks to me can't even taste the protein. Hang in there and make it interesting so you will stay engaged and not cheat.
