Hi all! I just started my liquid diet today and am now freaking out that I am not doing it right. Of course there is a huge snow storm so no one is in the office and I don't want to mess this up. I think I can have sugar free jell-o, pudding and the carnation instant breakfast shakes. but what about oatmeal? Is that ok? Yogurt? Are there specific types? Thanks for the help! FYI- my surgeon is Dr. Benedetto, and it will be at Salem (MA)Hospital.

Thanks everyone! I feel so much better

The nutritionist suggested Carnation Instant breakfast with simply smart milk. I guess they suggest that bc it's cheap.

My surgery is set for 1/15/14!! So excited!

I'm going to stick with clear liquids and the protein drinks for today and then call tomorrow b/c we are in the middle of a snowstorm and no one is in the office.

I'm definitely going to play it safe today and just do clear liquids and the protein shakes.

I did get paper work but can not find it! Which is totally unlike me and is what I used when grocery shopping.

Why are you hungry? Your liquid diet can consist of fresh green salads, yoghurt, oats, skim milk & an egg. The soup can also contain 1pc of chicken or fish, green veggies, spinach, etc - I just switched off from my usual OD'ing and actually feeling good about it! Throw the ready made shakes out - you are just supporting another parallel commercial industry! I'm pretty sure I can only have liquids 100% fruit juice, yogurt, jell-o and protein shakes no greens or eggs.. I'm going to call tomorrow but today they are not in the office.

My surgery is 1/15/14 I started the liquid diet today and I am so excited! I am having the surgery @ Salem Hospital in MA and the doctor is Dr. Benedetto. Is anyone else on the liquid diet yet? Today is my first day and I am hungry!!!
