purposedriven4 1 Posted January 10, 2007 hi all i am getting banded by dr. meyers this month. i started my liquid pre op on monday and i messed up bcause i ate solid food on monday. give me some suggestions so that i can do this liquid right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted January 10, 2007 I lived on warm chicken broth. Propel was also a life saver. What are you allowed to have? Can you have egg drop Soup without the eggs? I was allowed sugar free yogurt and protien shakes. Can you have those? There are clear liquid protien drinks out there that really fill you up too. I always had the chicken broth in a bowl with a spoon, made me feel like I was eating. I know this is hard, but you can do it. You can always come here for support. ~Mandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piercedqt78 658 Posted January 10, 2007 Try blending the skim milk, some ice cubes and a carnation instant Breakfast, and some Decaf instant coffee mix makes a good smoothie. The cream Soups can be really filling too. Try freezing the yogurt then put it in a blender, just like soft serve. I lived on propel it's a sugar free gatorade, it really helped keep my mind off food. I was only allowed sugar free liquids, and 1 6 oz of sugar free yogurt, and 2 Protein Shakes a day. I was not allowed the cream soups, or the carnation breakfast. I was not allowed any dairy other than the yogurt. Also make the Soup with the skim milk, it makes it richer and makes it more filling. I am in Romeoville, if you want to talk on the phone let me know and I will PM you my number. ~Mandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
