Pre-Op Liquid Diet

[Maggie0557 31]

I have been on liquids for 6 days and cannot stand the fast in my mouth, it's so sweet. Everything I drink is sweet except Water and it comes through the water. Any suggestions on getting rid of this?

Can I drink the broth from a can of chicken noodle Soup for a different taste, if I strain it?

Yeah as long as you strain the Soup it's still a liquid. I did that a lot during my pre op diet.

I think I will do that too Im on day one of my liquid diet but I cant stand the Bariatric Advantage vegetable broth....makes me want to puke...

Never thought I would enjoy the broth from chicken noodle Soup so much. Finally, something with taste, without sweetness.

Well instead of plain Water I put a few drops of lemon juice in

If you're doctor recommends that you take in Protein shakes after your surgery I highly recommend find one you can tolerate now. Often the shakes do taste too sweet even though they have low sugar. I know for me taking in at least one shake a day post-op was necessary to heal because it has high Protein and I wasn't able to eat the protein for a while.

For my Water after surgery I wasn't able to drink plain Water at all. I think because my taste buds really changed. I bought Mio and other SF flavored things to add to it. They all helped a lot and I had to change it up frequently. Hope you find the right combo
