Big Cheater!

So during my last visit to my Dr I asked what I could do before my surgery. He handed me a 2 week liquid preop diet. He normally does not require one. I have been doing so well, but tonight I way overdid!! Feeling guilty!

    Ouch, I am glad I did not have to do two weeks of liquids before surgery, one was bad enough. I did have to do a no carb diet before surgery for 2 weeks and I thought that was hard for me. I got a flu

I did! Today I reordered the chicken soup and got a cheese sauce. I can put it in low fat Cream of broccoli soup, warm tomato juice and mashed potatoes during the mushy stage. You can order trial sizes of every flavor to see if you like them. I could not have done the two-week liquid preop diet without the chicken soup. I definitely needed a break from the sweet taste of all the protein shakes. I hope you do well best of luck to you! :)

The two week liquid diet helps reduce the amount of fat around your liver, which in turn makes it easier to get at your stomach. It's pretty much standard procedure, as far as I know. Plus, it gives you time to adapt and find liquid proteins you can tolerate, because for the first few weeks after the surgery, you're on liquids anyway. I like Dr Walker's protein shakes because they're not too sweet, also Trader Joes has Aria protein shakes for women, again, not too sweet. I often blend the Aria protein with iced coffee to make a frappacino. Oh, and Unjury's chicken soup is a staple for most bariatric patients.

I ordered the unjury starter pack and a couple of extra packs of the chicken soup. Anyone tried the cheese sauce? Sounds interesting but i couldn't find a trial size for that one.

I did great today! Just liquid protein and water. Thank God for Unjury's chicken soup flavor!!! A life saver' date=' if u have yet to get it I strongly suggest it. Thanks for the support, by the way I felt yucky last night. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

Is that soup really good? What's different about it versus regular broth?

I just ordered the cheese sauce. I will let u know. :)

I love Unjury's stuff. My favorites are the chocolate splendor shake, the chicken soup, and the cheese sauce is very good.

Mercedes -- the difference between the Unjury chicken soup and regular broth is the protein content. There is a LOT more protein in the Unjury product.

Cheese sauce is awesome! I put it in potato soup to add lots of protein. Always good to have on hand, just be sure to drink water cause it's salty. :)
