Anyway to fancy up 5 week liquid diet??

Hello everyone!

I finally have a surgery date!!! March 29 is the big day!!

So I have been assigned a 5 week pre-op liquid diet (starting today!). The diet is 5 x High Protein Boost or High Protein Ensure per day. I am also allowed 1 or 2 cups of clear low sodium broth (Wooo!! Calm down lol). Oh, and I am allowed coffee with sugar substitute. So Canadians often get shafted for flavors or variety for a lot of products...so I am working with $300.00 of High Protein Boosts in Chocolate and Vanilla. I have got a few sugar free syrups (Salted Caramel, Coconut, Peppermint) to change up the taste....hopefully?! Maybe?!

I also made some popsicles with Mio flavoring in water.

Does anyone have any other suggestions to fancy any of this up a little?

Also, does anyone drink their protein/protein drink and coffee together? Do you just use instant coffee...or do you ice your coffee and mix together?

Any help or suggestions is super appreciated.

Thank you!!

5 weeks! Holy moly!! I'm in the middle of my pre-op diet now. I'm not in Canada so I can't speak to the variety, but I was able to find a variety of broths in different flavors like chicken bone broth with rosemary and lemon. If you can order the PB2 powders, they're a nice addition to a shake too. Good luck!
