Just got done crying in the kitchen while looking at this NASTY broth!

I'm ready to do this, but the thought of not being to have anything filling or with flavor for the next month of so is really getting to me.

I think homeless people eat more food than this, 10 day liquid diet blows!....

I'm 6 days into this, and cranky! luckily today was my last day at work because i feel a total breakdown coming...

Ok i'm done venting, i did cheat and eat 2 crackers with my wonderful yuky broth.. ..

Thanks for listening.

It's mind over matter. Look around for some creative liquid diet recipe ideas. You'll be suprised what you can find.

Do you just use a plain broth? I was told by my nut. to drain juice from the reg. soups as they have a little more flavor or is that what you do? Glad I did not have to do this long and only after surgery thankfully after surgery eating does not feel that good so you don't mind eating broth so much. Good luck!

Yeah i'm using regular beef and chicken broth, my NUT has already called me twice and asks how i'am and just tells me stick to it and it will be over soon...

I hope with a much smaller tummy i won't feel the hunger pains i feel now, when my dog looks good to eat ya know you have problems

i wish every doctor followed the same rules, everyone has such different rules, but i must say i'm happy not to be on a longer diet like i have seen people need to do 20 days, i'd be dead..

I am sitting here eating popsicles from Wal-Mart. They are called "Budgetsaver popsicles". They have different flavors in the sugar free version, which are 30 calories. They are good. Also, Panara's Bread French Onion soup is 210 calories.

Buy ramen noodles and use the packet of seasoning to make broth. Just heat water and add the packet. The only way I could have broth. (just throw the noodles away).

Again, I know how you feel!!!!! I'm 5 days in and I had a breakdown today too! 9 more days to go... ugghhhh.. It is hard!!

Thanks for the ideas! Now why doesn't the NUT tell me all of this...

The panera idea sounds good, and ramen noodles are a great idea lots of flavors...

If it wasn't for Popcicles id be dead, and those piña colada ones are

Killer...

3 more days... I actually can't wait til Monday and I can do Clear liquids will be nice to get my cranberry juice in..

Hey I was reading your response...is that alot of sodium??

Probably as much as any other broth. Not sure... Was never able to find the sodium content of just the packet.

Jthurman, you are the bomb! I never thought about the ramen packets. That is so smart!

I think when you're on a liquid diet, who cares about sodium? Heck, you just want something tasty to fill the void!!

Beef ramen noodles for lunch WAYYY better than the crap in the can....

Today i think i'm running on pure adrenalan, because i've been cleaning like a nutcase, my mom said people get like the right before surgery, maybe she is trying to make me feel better...I don't think my husband is minding the cleaning less stuff on his chore list..

Partially too because i want to come back home to a spotless house it seems to always make me feel better.. i also got my lawn chairs ready to go recovery in the sun is going to be a good thing....

no offense but, yeah, you want something tasty...but I'm not trying to have a stroke either.....ijs....

Does everyone pre op have to go on this liquid diet i have yet to hear anything about it and would like to prepare for the suffering if this is necessary

I have to go on a diet starting 7 days before the op. I am allowed 0% fat yoghurt, bovril, sugar free jelly and 1/2 a pint of skimmed milk a day. It seems everyone else is on a different diet from me.
