    I am on day 11 of my pre-op diet. It has been tough for sure. My recommendations are to get a variety of protein shake flavors, depending on what you like. Also get some savory options; I am SOOO tired of sweet things so broth has really helped. I'm also allowed to have tomato juice, so I have a serving of that everyday. I would say I mostly live on actual liquids - I eat about 1 serving of jello a day and I don't really eat many popsicles (mostly because I'm tired of everything sweet). I would also recommend getting some unflavored protein powder to add to your broth. I use Genepro. I also haven't minded the Unjury chicken soup flavor.

    I’m on day 4 of the pre-op liquid diet. I don’t want to scare you, but to manage your expectations, know it’s hard.
    I have two Premier Protein shakes a day (sometimes I mix two flavors for variety).

    Jello I got tons of variety, all sugar free of course. I have 10 calorie Jello brand, 5 calorie Snack Pack, and 5 calorie Winky (40 minute trip to Walmart to find these). The nice thing about snack pack is you don’t have to store them in the fridge. I bought a case of them and put them in the fridge as needed. Winky has several flavors in each package which I like.
    Sugar free popsicles.
    Broth... lots of flavors! Low sodium chicken, vegetable, Trader Joe’s Miso Ginger (my favorite), Pho (tasted terrible but makes me nauseous and less hungry)
    Bone Broth: Swanson sipping broths are fantastic! They are easy to drink from their own package and how I get additional protein. They have lemon rosemary, Chinese 5 Spice, tumerick, etc. It’s a nice break from all of the sweets. Highly recommend.
    Yesterday when I was freaking out about being hungry the nutritionist suggested eating ice chips. I blended my protein shake with ice once so that I could eat it with a spoon like ice cream. That was more filling. But, then I had an idea... snow cones!!! I have a snow cone maker for shaved ice. I also have zero calorie, sugar free snow cone syrups which the nutritionist approved, I was in heaven!!!!
    im not a fan of Crystal Light, but that’s another option.
    Good luck!!!
