My surgery is on Monday the 19th. Just have to follow a liquid diet day before and do a bowel prep. Suggestions for things on the liquid diet besides chicken broth?

Thanks In Advance!

My surgeon told me specifically to just do protein shakes the day before, but seems like they all do things slightly differently. I would say though that it would be pretty safe to do any of the things in your post op liquid phase.

Sugar free Jello, broth, homemade Crystal light pops and protein shakes. I lived on this for two weeks before my surgery.

Sugar free popsicles were a life saver for me. I got so sick of jello. Some Targets (not all) have the "Tropical" sugar-free popsicles which are BOMB. There isn't a lot of variety on the liquid diet, but you will lose a ton of weight while on it.. Good luck!

That's the truth, I lost 28 lbs in 14 days.

Thank you for all your suggestions!
