So I'm in the 2 week pre op diet. One of the things I can have is a serving of broth a day. I can't stomach the plain broth I bought in the carton. Since it's too late to call the nutritionist I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on a vegetable soup and straining out the veggies.. It's a lot tastier.. Much more sodium.. Would that qualify as broth??

Congrats!!

Hang in there!! It gets easier I promise!! I'm on day 11 of liquid and feel great!! You can do it!!

Yay! Keep us updated after surgery if you can!

Linda , How are you doing??

Good luck Adam!!!

Update when you can! So exciting!!

Good luck and safe travels Mississippi!! And good luck today crissy!!!!

You can do it Linda!! The first few days was the hardest for me! But now I'm on day 9 and it's a lot easier!! Good luck!!

I hope everyone's surgery today went well! Good luck tomorrow ddw!!!

I love panera soup.. I might have to get me some broth!! I tried the flavor infused Mexican tortilla.. I couldn't stomach it... I don't know why I can't do the broths.. But I can do straining soup and eating the broth... Weird

Thanks ladies!!!!

Where did you get the flavored infused broth?

Jen I am going on the 25th also.. Good luck had gage a safe trip!!

Ms keekee when does your preop start? Right now I'm just drinking the carnation essentials for 3 times a day.. That's what my surgeon suggested. I did order a starter pack from unjury. It came with chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and chicken Soup flavor.. I've tried the chocolate and the chicken and they are pretty good.. And I'm allowed broth.. I can't stomach the plain broth from a can it carton so I've been straining chicken soup or veg soup and just drinking the broth.. Yum!! Good luck!! Andrew.. I would kill for some cod! Haha good luck!!

Thanks everyone! I did the veg soup strained and it was yummy!! I will be buying more tomorrow.. And I'll try the Mexican!

My surgery is the 25th! Excited , nervous, ready for it!!! Pre op is tough but I'm getting through it!

Day 2 and 3 were the hardest for me! Good luck!!

How did surgery go for the ones who had it this week??

Hi! My surgery is the 25th as well!! I'd like a buddy!!! Good luck to you!!!!

Honestly it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. From reading other posts I feel my dr has a more strict pre op diet.. 2 weeks liquid.. 3 Protein drinks, Jello, sugar free pops, broth and one yogurt a day.. It's day 5 out if 14 and I'm feeling good.. I would kill for some tomato soup right now but it's all going to be worth it.. Also my surgeon didn't require any weight lost before he would schedule the surgery so I'm guessing that could be why the pre op is so strict..

Good luck jazz!! Day 5 of preop I feel pretty good!

Yay!! Princess jazz are you on your pre op yet? Mine started Monday.. Getting excited!!!

You look amazing!!!! Congrats!!!

Oh I would love that pre op diet!! Lucky ???? I'm on day 3 of 14... Mmmhhhmmm tuna.. Good luck!!
