Hey I started my liquid diet tuesday June 8th, 2010 I'm starving. The doc wants me to drink 2 carnation instnt breakfast shakes w/skim milk, plus 2 1/2 eight oz. servings of skim milk 3/4 cup of plain frozen vegies steamed, 3 medium pieces of fruit. for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Did anyone else have this strick of a diet??????

Yep! I was only allowed liquids..period, no fruit no veggies! It's hard, but after the first couple of days it gets much better. I struggled thru the first 4 days and then it was easy. I drank 4 protien shakes a day and water in between or broth. Good Luck you can do it!!! Just keep your mind set on the goal.

I can't have any fruits, vegetables, etc. I have a full liquid, high protein diet. I have to get at least 65g of protein per day. I can eat sugar free popsicles, sf pudding, low fat yogurt, strained creamed soups, broths, skim or 1% milk, etc. Thank God I can have thin Cream of Wheat (I love that stuff!).

Liquied diet only for me too for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I went to CVS Pharmacy and bought their vanilla whey protein powder. I added 8 oz of water and a crystal light on the go packet and shook it up real good. I also added about 4 ice cubes to make it good and cold. Believe it or not this is real tasty. At night to treat myself I would have 2 cups of chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. I made through, though it was tough. Good luck to you!!

I had to do 2 weeks of 4 protein shakes and 5-1/2 cups servings of sugar-free pudding, no sugar added applesauce, weight control oatmeal, or low-fat cream soups (strained). A Half a cup is not much But I'm happy to say I'm having my surgery on Monday!!!!! Then I have 2 weeks of just liquids to look forward to before going to mushy foods....:frown:.

Thanks everyone I just guess I was feeling sorry for my self.

Bess thank for the tip about cvs protien and chrystal light too. Good luck to everyone whose having surgery soon, mine isn't till june 22nd.
