This Pre Op Diet Is Killing Me. How Did U Cope?

I have a major headache and I'm far from hungry but I feel horrible. I'm not a sweet eater but EVERYTHING seems sweet! Any suggestions?

I had to do broth to get over that sweetness thing. I love sweets and it was too much for me. Hang in there. It doesn't last forever.

I'm a week post op. I am still on my liquid diet. I hope that will change tomorrow at my post op visit. I'll tell you, I am not a sweet eater at all. I did have a problem with the sweetness of EVERYTHING in the pre-op diet. NOTHING is savory. Maybe we need to do something about that. My protein shake tonight was really rough to take. I drank a lot of water to counter-balance the sweetness of the shakes and crystal light. I did dilute the crystal light by 1/2, though. That sure helped.

My pre-op only allowed 1-8oz cup of broth a day. He really wanted us to be on an 800 calorie diet. It was tough for us non-sweet eaters.

Right, I'm only allowed 1 cup Low Sodium chicken broth a day and the smell turned me off when I opened the carton. Sice this is my second surgery, I can handke post-op, I just can't do all these sweets pre-op. :(

I bought the Unjury protein chicken broth. It really helped to "eat" it at night so I felt like I was having a savory meal. It also gave me a chance to have something other than a sweet protein drink. I also added decaf instant coffee to my chocolate protein drinks to take the sweet edge off.
