suggestions??

[bamamom911 26]

I am having surgery in a week (5/14). I will be on a two week liquid diet. Basically, anything I can drink through a straw. I am thinking chicken broth, Protein Shakes & Soups. Any suggestions on what to have on hand? I know it's gonna be rough the first few weeks but I want several options so I don't get tired of the same stuff. Thanks!

sugar free juices, crystal light, sugar free Popsicles...these are what I'm stocking up on.

Congrats on upcoming surgury... One thing that truely helped me is I got Jean McMillans Cook Book... Bandwagon Cookery... she has a TON of great receipes in it and a lot she has listed at the bottom of the recipe how to "adapt" to both the liquid phase and the puree phase of the diet. I ordered mine on Amazon but if you click on her profile on this site I think her blog is listed and you can order from there too Enjoy the new journey !!!

I loved Italian ice. They were my favorite.

sugar free Jello is also great to have on hand. It will make you feel like you are actually eating real food amongst all the liquid...but is still considered a liquid, so is allowed. Good luck!
