Favorite go to food/drinks during liquid phase.

And go.....

I found that my brain "recognized" broths as a "meal" and gave me a sense of satiety. Sweet drinks didn't do this.

SF Jello also retained some of it's "solidity" and helped me feel like I'd actually eaten something.

I most def plan on doing both.

Has anyone tried the premier protein waters? Any opinions?

I am really liking broths, I have a cup for lunch and or diner, it does make you feel as thought you "ate". I have 2 shakes a day they are so filling and after about 7oz I get nausea. I bought Equate caramel but it is way to sweet for me, my favorite so far is PP strawberries&cream. I have tried PP water not a fan. I like Snapple Diet Peach I have a sip here an there between water.

I CAN NOT STAND THE PP SHAKES! So that is what made me question the waters. I will have to stick with my propel I like and add my unflavored protein to it.

I have chosen to go with UNjury protein shakes and powder. Which are amazing. They have a chicken soup flavor protein powder and it is so good. Will be using that for broth.

I've even made a batch of veggie soup that I have waiting in the freezer for me to blend up once I get to puree. Just trying to come up with ideas that maybe I haven't thought of.

My favorite protein water is Protein2O. They're not as sweet as the others. I really like the coconut flavor.

If you want something more savory, V8 with protein powder.

Try out Millie’s sipping broths - spicy tortilla and curry spice! Yum! Those work for clear liquid stage too!

Now V8 with protein powder, that sounds good. Why didn't I think of that? Because you're farther along in this process and maybe got your dietary act together better.???

I think broth is my go to thing when my stomach is hurting and when I’m nauseous.

Have been nervous about being nauseous. I hope I don't deal with this a whole lot and if I do it doesn't last long

I don’t really like sweet things, so I had to work at learning to like the protein shakes during my pre-op diet. I found that two shots of decaf espresso made me LOVE the Premier Protein caramel a chocolate flavors. God Almighty couldn’t make me like the vanilla...I can’t give them away.

People seemed at a loss when I told them they couldn’t bring food after I got home from the hospital. Now, when someone asks what they can bring me when they visit, I’m just going to tell them 2 shots of decaf espresso!

I tried them, but I will say, anything I liked before surgery, I couldn't stomach after surgery. I loved premier protein, now I can't stomach any whey protein and I have to do plant based. Don't buy too much prior to surgery when it comes to protein and such.
