OK, I am going on day 5 of liquids of three weeks. So far i have had water, sf jello, diluted juices, and broth. Any other ideas to mix it up that worked for you? I made my family a chicken crock pot meal tonight & I strained some of the drippings & added to my boring chicken broth...yum! I also got some of the onion broth that they serve at our local hibachi/sushi place. Cant find sugar free popsicles here??? Just looking for more ideas. Thanks!

I guess the drs are different. I can only have water and protein shakes. Today is my 10 th day!!!!!!!!

Is it hard On a liquid diet?

Today is the first day of my 14 day liquid diet....I get 3 packets that I mix with water a day. Some are soups some are shakes.....so far I have taken 3 sips of the first then threw it out and 2 sips of the second and threw it out....I'm getting the third one down. I envy those that can have regular broth or even a few veggies.

I just added a Protein shake today & yuck!!! I HATE milk & to eat that at room temp is worse! So what I did was add a little frozen pineapple & mango to add flavor and blended it smooth. I am freezing it and then going to try it that way. I'll let it melt in my mouth first. Do you think I will have problems with the fruit so early in this process? Only 5 days out...

You'd better be careful with the fruit. Even tho the sugars in fruit are natural they're still sugars. My surgeon suggested frozen berries as far as eating fruit. I'd try adding ice, blending it and add fruit essence or extracts. I'm not sure about extracts as far as how healthy they are but essences purchased at health food stores would be best so soon after your surgery. Good luck! You could probably try nectar protein or soy if the whey is not your thing too. Look up bariatriceating on line. They have a good selection.

Sorry I'm revising my statement. It's Bariatric Choice, not Bariatric Eating that I was thinking of.

Thanks Blankmama- my adding frozen mango & pineapple failed miserably! Made it taste worse! I think I need a different Protein powder or drink.
