Tomorrow I will be on my second week of the pre op liquid diet. Although I am hungry it is getting easier! But I've only lost 5 1/2 lbs. I start clear liquid only tomorrow. Any suggestions on what to drink?

You can do Isopure, which is a clear protein drink that comes n several flavors. Not the tastiest but you can add crystal light to mask the taste. Can also do SF jello, SF Popsicles, broth and water with unflavored protein and/or crystal light.

Does everyone go on a special diet as preparation for the surgery? I don't get my surgery date for another week.

Thanks!

Hi I'm copying this from the booklet I received from my NUT for the clear liquid diet. Drink at least 64 oz. of these liquids daily to prevent dehydration. Also replace breakfast, lunch and dinner with one serving of an approved protein drink. You need at least 60-80 gms of protein daily.

• Thin broths or bouillon and bases
  
• No added sugar gelatin
  
• 100% fruit juice (apple, grape or cranberry) diluted half and half with water.
  
• Sugar-free drinks like Kool-Aid and Crystal Light
  
• Sports drinks such as Gatorade or PowerAde diluted half and half with water
  
• Sugar-free fitness waters, such as Propel and Fruit20
  
• K2 Protein Water
  
• No sugar added/sugar free Popsicles and frozen ice
  
• Coffee and herbal and flavored tea, hot or cold
  
• No sugar added hot apple cider
  
• Artificial sweetener or naturally sweetened water with fruit or Stevia
  

Hope this helps.....Best of luck with your pre-op diet

Thank you!!! And most do yes
