Thinks i enjoy Crystal Light, Diet Snapple, Tea, Gatorade is ok, and especially Water. broth is very good if you like things warm.

I couldn't bare the thought of broth so I chose to buy chicken noodle Soup and strain it. Basically I love buying Soups and straining them. I hate throwing out the good bits but the broth tastes so much better!

Was anyone able to have Isopure sugar free drinks on the clear liquid stage?

I'm post op and that's what I drink immediately for the day. I get my 40 grams of Protein in immediately. You have to sample a few flavors to find one tolerable. :)

It is considered a clear liquid.

I'm looking at more of the nutrition facts for the ensure and I think it has too many carbs and not enough Proteins. Just a second thought!

My doc said no to ensure. I think for the reasons Dobeigh says above. Isopure really high in Protein but you have to taste the different flavors to find ones you like. They are tolerable but not great. Healthy Shot is another but I haven't tried it.

I am, in fact my doctor suggested it! I bought a whole case. It's a purple liquid! They are decent, have a slight gritty after taste. It's better for u then Gatorade.

My neighbor said he lived on Isopure RTD and Miso Soup. Miso is soy-based, so there's Protein there. I went looking for it yesterday at the local grocery store where he said he got some instant packets, but didn't find it. I'll be on the hunt, because I like it.

You gave me a craving and man was it good. All I had to do was run it through a strainer. It was a wonderful change for my taste buds. I was a bit down this morning as I had tried some skim milk with Protein for the first time and let's just say I doubt an ounce was consumed. I'm really hoping it was the protein that didn't agree and not the milk. I so wanted to still be able to drink milk. Miso made my day!!!!

Just an idea for your broth. I bought the resealable broths and before I drink them I add either the beef or chicken bullion granules. It gives it a much needed flavor boost. The Wylers brand bullion is the best

I strain Soups as well. Wonton Soup and egg drop soup a d and soup from Thai restaurants should all be good.

I personally didn't like Isopure (I call it Isopuke, sorry to it's fans) but I tried another one called Cytosport whey Isolate. It's a ready to drink (RTD) bottle with I think 32g of Protein in it. It's a clear liquid and comes in watermelon, tropical (it's green) and tangerine. I like the tropical and tangerine ones. I found them at Vitamin Shoppe.

Miso Soup rocks!

You can also make Jello and add Protein powder to it before you refrigerate. I think on unjury's site they have recipes for this.

Good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
