I started my 10 day pre-op diet. Holy cow it's rough and I'm just day 1. People tell me after day 3 it's easier but all I thought about at work allll day was food. My stomach was rumbling so loud that I could hear it even with my headphones with music on while I programmed. Torture.

My diet is:

gatorade, Powerade, apple, orange and grapefruit juices: 2 cups or less daily.

sugar free Jello, popsciles and fudgesicles: as much as I like as long as they're sugar free

A cup of skim milk, low fat yogurt or low fat cottage cheese: 3 or less daily

Atkins shakes or carb solutions shakes: 3 or less daily (I got powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes in vanilla, chocolate and chicken soup)

You may have as much as you like of broth ONLY Soups in any flavor.

As much as I like of sugar free beverages like diet soda, crystal light, coffee and tea.

Then there are diabetic allowances like small amount of regular cottage cheese, light yogurt, stuff liek that.

So my question is.. what is broth? Just chicken, veggie or beef? Because in the broth area of my supermarket I found butternut squash broth, tomato and some other nifty things but I don't know if that's considered broth.

Anyone?

I know the soups you are talking about and while they are delicious, they aren't broth. Broth you can see through.
