My surgery date is May 6th. I'm trying to get things done ahead of time so I'm organized for my surgery and not totally stressed out. Any suggestions for the full liquid stage of the diet? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

For full liquids, I mostly drank a lot of chicken broth, ate sugar free jello, had my protein shakes, but made them with skim milk instead of water, and had the occasional yogurt drink. I got filled up pretty fast during this stage. After 2 weeks of protein shakes, warm chicken broth never tasted so good!

I'm noticing that e everyone has different protocol. I'm allowed to do anything that is liquid, Greek yougurt, soups (not chunks in them but the broth), sugar/ff pudding, etc. Stock up on what you'll like & be open to new things. Black bean soup has gotten me through some very hungry days the last month.

I drank protein shakes from GNC and drank a ton of soup. On the go I dropped a boullion cube in a hot cup of water and let it soak. I also bought ramen and threw away the noodles and drank the broth only.

Mine is may 6th too! Im going to stock up on soup broths and shakes.

@@tmposton, ask your nutritionist if you can puree soups in the blender. Your options are wide open then, as you can buy regular soups and add some exra veggies, etc., as long as you liquefy them. My full liquids stage was six weeks, and that saved me.
