I have been on my pre-op Liquid diet for a wk now n am scheduled for surgery next Friday and getting very nervous. I have been having a little difficulty with the liquid diet n am getting tired of drinking this slim fast. For the most part I am doing pretty good but will find myslef nibbling on a cracker or something...no major meals just a nibble here n a nibble there. For instance I made a huge pot of chicken soup with veggies n took all my broth but snuck in a couple of piece of veggie n chicken....it has been so hard. I guess I am looking for more encouragement as well as ideas of how to spice up these slim fast drinks as well as what else I can do for the liquid n then what have others done for the post op meals etc...I need ideas n suggestions......PLEASE HELP!

Hi I am also doing the liquid diet scheduled for next friday...am having a difficult time. I have nibbled here n there on a cracker or something just because I am still feeling hungary n a bit shakey. What are you doing as far as your liquid diet? I need help because I am tired of the same thing over and over...I dont even know if I lost anything yet. I actually started doing the slimfast a little ahead of time just to try and get the feel of it so I was doing slimfast plus having some simple meals nutritious as well. Let me know any tips plz...,been looking for feedback from others but no one post any relpies back to me...thnxs!

well the trouble is I am kind of getting tired of the slimfast drinks I had started drinking them a little before the pre-op not all day but replacing some of my meals. The taste is somewhat getting to me and I am doing vanilla n strawberry due to I cant stand the chocolate flavor. Besides the slimfast what else can I have??? Such as the broth what do you do for the broth...I am just kind of confused and I just started on Friday and I am still feeling hungary...need to get this going as my surgery date is scheduled for the 25th....DO NOT WANT TO BE TURNED AROUND N SENT BACK HOME....

Thnxs so much for the recipe..it seems that this should help...I was just gonna throw some boullion cubs in a pot of boiling water and use that...didnt know if that would work but ur recipe sounds so much better!!

I am in the 2 wks liquid diet pre-op and i am having a very hard time trying to stick with the liquid...I started on Friday and my surgery is schedule for the 25th. I had already started drinking the slimfast more frequently just to kind of get use to it. My problem is just thinking about drinking it all day everyday for 2 wks. Is there anything else that can help?? And what about the broth what can one use as far as the broth goes can I use the little bullon cubes and mix it with hot water or what PLEASE HELP and ALL SUGGESTIONS are welcomed!!!
