I start my liquid diet tomorrow and making a grocery list. I really need same examples of what y'all ate? I've got broth, jello, carnation instant bfast, and tomato soup at hand. Is there anything else!!!!?????

This is what my NUT sends the newbies.... I'm a big fan of the EAS Carb Control shakes... You can get the chocolate and vanilla at Sam's Club too. I am 3 weeks pre-op and i'm rocking one meal a day with the help of these shakes.

Make sure you have a good Protein shake in there. I used GNC's Optimum Nutrition's Double chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream flavors. I also had V8 juice, sugar-free pudding and sugar-free popsicles in addition to sugar-free Jello. I too drank chicken broth (low sodium) and drank a ton of Crystal Light.

Warning - The first three days are ROUGH but something happens on day's 4 and 5 and things look up from there. Good luck to you and your journey. It is an AMAZING ride.

Well I had to do it for just one day before my EGD and by midday it was hell!!!! Thanks 4 the warning!

I wish I found this site 12 days ago. I have been on a liquid only diet for 12 days and have my surgery Monday. My Dr. has me on NO MEALS ! I have had three protein shakes a day and I cant even tell you how much water, popsicles and broth thats it! I lost only 6 pounds but I am so hungry you would think I lost 20. I am beating myself up because I cheated the other day and had a salad, now im scared its going to screw me up. Anyway going to go shopping again tomorrow anyone have any qood clear protein shakes they recomend for post op. I stocked up on broths and supplements like muscle milk, premium protein, glucerna and the ones from GNC. Also got myself the whey which I will be honest I can not even swallow...any ideas?
