Is anyone eating anything other than SF Jell-0, SF Popsicles or broth? I'm also having a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and a lean cuisine for dinner per dr orders.

Im allowed non starchy veggies and nutrition bars given to me by my Drs office. They also gave me some mix for shakes/pudding, and hot chocolate.

Thanks!! Obviously I won't add anything without asking my dr. First. Just curious. It's becoming mental now.

I had a 1200 calorie diet for 12 days, and now I'm on my two-day liquid diet. For my liquid diet - In addition to Protein shakes, I'm allowed SF pudding, lite yogurt, & unsweetened applesauce.

Unsweetened apple sauce could be a nice addition for some texture. Thanks!

I'm just sticking to replacement drinks. I know, I know, I am crackers. It's easier for me to just have 3 Meal Replacements than bits of food here and there, I find it easier and I can focus on other things rather than food. I start on the 6th of July. Beware, I am sure by day 3 you will hear me screaming in the Americas!

Yup, totally do-lally. lol

I am on a liquid only 800 cal a day. 4 Dr recommend shakes and a little broth first 3 days were so bad but I'm a week in with one more to go. It's hard but doable.

I'm on day 3 of a 3 day pre-op clear liquid diet. I have barely been able to get over 200 calories in a day. I've been surviving on Isopure Carb zero, broth, SF jello, SF popsicles, crystal light, and Vitamin water Zero. Surprisingly I don't feel that bad.

How has your energy level been?

Its been good. It was definitely worse the first day, but i haven't felt a extreme drop. I think the anticipation and excitement for surgery tomorrow is helping with that.

My surgeon's pre-op diet was 3 meals of around 300 calories of lean Protein and non-starchy veggies and 2 Protein shakes a day. I didn't have to do an all liquid diet.
