June 4Th Surgery Folks

[joybl 9]

I'm just nervous lol I already registered today so I'm already wearing my hospital Bracelet. I havent packed n I haven't gone to the grocery store which I do plan on doing tomorrow. Nothing but Clear Liquids as if now. Good luck ladies be strong see y'all soon!!!

If you did not get it yet...things that got me thru clear liq stage:

Swansons beef and chicken broth 50% less sosium, no MSG

Crystal light. I like the iced tea, lemonade and fruit punch. Mojito nasty.

sugar free popsicles

sugar free Jello citrus flavors

Apple jice, no more than 3-4 ounces a day, no sugar added. I diluted with a little Water.

I then added Protein shakes, 100% whey Pure Protein brand at Target, 2lbs powder, only $20. Like choc the best, then vanilla. Also have the Lean powder from Smother King in vanilla, tastes like cake batter. I alternate.

I initially started with Boost High Protein choc pre prepared in bottle bc not as thick, less air, then after 2 days, started making my own.

Next added V-8, liquid Danactive

Finally week 3, 2 tbl spoons of hummus once a day

It was helpful to have cups from 1-4 ounce in size. I continue to use them so I sip and do not gulp. Use a teacup for my broth.< /p>

Good luck! Very excited for you.

Thanks for the tips Joybl. I think I'm going to have my husband go stock up on some Swansons. I have the Unjury which tastes fine to me but Swansons is lighter tasting and I think would be really great for the first couple of weeks and I can always add a little unflavored powder to it. Its going to be tough but I think I'm going to adapt the Marine motto "when the going gets tough, the tough get going".
