My surgery date is dec 18, and I am 4 days into my clear liquid diet!! I am so hungry. I have dreamed about food the past two nights. My diet says I can have:

Protein drink mixed with Water or skin milk. SF Jello, SF Popsicles, broth or consommé, pulp free fruit juice and diet or sf sports drinks. And of course water.

I'm wondering if I can get a can of light progresso Soup and strain the liquid and eat that for broth? Any advice??

Yes! That's what I did. I loved the Campbell's chicken and rice soup, I just strained the rice and had the broth.

Yes that should be just fine. Hang in there!

I bought a few cans of progresso soup last night (chicken noodle), and I strained the broth and heated it. Let me tell you...it was the best thing I have tasted in days!! I can do this!!

Yay Luann919!!! YES, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I buy chicken stock and fortify it with thyme, rosemary, cloves, two onions, halved, and lemon juice because I find that flavor comforting. I let it simmer for a few hours, and I have to tell you, it's how I'm going to get through this. My diet starts Thursday and I'm ready!

OMG I was so were you are on Saturday. I was scheduled to have my surgery on December 18th but due to the lack of losing the 10 lbs I as told to come back on Jan. 5, 2015. It is truly hard being that it is holiday time.

I don't know what to tell but what I found helped me was to drink the broth from Progresso Light Soups (70 calories) and that kinda took the hunger away. It is an awful terrible feeling. sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, and Water, exercise.

Let me know how it's going. I am habving to start over again I have got to make this happen. Holiday parties, pastries, Cookies, pies. Ugh torture.
