Liquid Diet

[Atsirc 10]

I am preparing for my June 20th surgery date and for my two week liquid diet which starts on June 6th. From what I've seen my surgeon is pretty stricts about the pre- op diet and the post- op diet. For two weeks before my surgery I can have Meal Replacement beverages (up to 6 per day), Water (with crystal light), tea, sugar free Jello, and sugar free popsicles. The problem is that it's all sweet except the broth and broth is pretty repulsive. I'm trying to boil it with some fresh herbs to see if I can stand to drink it that way but so far no luck! Please don't get me wrong, I am no complaining, I just need some strategies to help me be successful for the 2 week pre- op diet and the 2 week post- op liquid diet. Thanks!

You may want to try making stock/broth yourself. Make a large batch and freeze in single serving sizes. You can find a million recipes online. Stay away from any recipes to use bouillon or granules.

Yes, try stock instead of broth. Also, I bough some College Inn white wine & herb broth- it's REALLY savory and yummy.
