Liquid Diet....need Some Help!

[lmbordelon 14]

Hey guys! I start my liquid diet today, and I had a couple questions.

My diet plan says I can have fat free cream Soups? Does that mean Fat Free cream of chicken Soup? What are some other FF cream soups are there?

I am very nervous about the 14 days of liquids....any tips on how to make it thru would be awesome!

According to my doc the 14 days leading up to the surgery are really more to mentally preapre you for the 14 days after surgery. It was not easy for me. But, I took a super strick Spartan approach where I only ate Protein Shakes and Protein Bars. Down side to that is that I am now 7 days post op and I have not had much outside of protien shakes for the better part of a month. You lose weight fast but I could just about kill a man for anything that reselbles normal food. The bonus side is I feel better enought on day 7 to actually want to eat.

It's easy to make Soups. Use unflavored or chicken flavored Protein Powder, combine with Water or broth, and add soft cooked vegetables or lean meats. You can add even more Protein with fat free greek yogurt. Spices to taste.

The 14 day pre-op diet is to shrink your liver so it isn't in the surgeon's way. So the no fat, no sugar, and no alcohol part is very important.
