Pre op must haves!?!

I start my 14 day liquid diet on the 22. I'm starting to get my list of things together. What are some things you couldn't have done it with out?

    Herbal tea, though I admit I didn't have a lot of it. I couldn't have made it without Crystal Light!

I know some docs and nuts have different pre op diet plans but my allowed must haves were ice pops...its the only thing you can really chew during this time, and I really REALLY missed the action of chewing my food lol. Besides that I would go to the local japanese restaurant and order a quart of their clear soup to go...just scoop out the mushrooms. The sodium in that was probably a bit high but my doc didn't seem to mind that. Good luck!! You got this!

I couldn't have done it without the right attitude.

Just know the first couple days on liquid diet you will be hungry, cranky, tired, weak, etc. On the 3rd day I was fine
And started to be satisfied to the point I did not feel like I was starving. I miss chewing food, SF popsicles are great!
I am on day 8 and I feel I will make ok until the 12th for my surgery. Good luck!

I m scheduled for September 18th and just started the pre liquid diet 3 days ago. Today I find myself gagging at the smell of the protein shakes. They said I should have 60 grams of protein and the shakes have 30g so technically I only need 2 shakes a day. What other liquids have others tried besides broth, jello and SF ice pops. Thanks

13 days of liquid diet with one small meal was a breeze compared to today as I am doung my final day of clear liquid diet before surgery tomorrow. This day is BITTER! sweet. Stomach pains suck!
