You don't have one with your surgeon? Perhaps you need to talk to your nurse practitioner or whomever gave you the pre-op diet.

The one that my surgeon recommended doesn't take my insurance. I used a different one for clearance but he was horrible.

Here's what I found for nutritional info online, for a generic egg drop Soup recipe:

If you don't have a nutritionist, just give your surgeon's office a quick call; they can tell you how much this would affect your liver's shrinkage. I'm guessing a serving every couple of days won't hurt much, but better to ask the experts for sure. Let us know what they tell you!

My nut ok'd it! It really was a life saver. I had it twice during my 1wk preop diet. Granted, they were little bowls, not a huge caraffe or anything.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
