Hi all! I am new to this forum. I stumbled upon it while looking at other stuff. So happy to find others going through the same thing as I. My mother & I are having bypass surgery on Jan. 7th. We have to start the liquid diet 5 days before surgery...any good suggestions on things other than Protein Shakes & broths?

I don't have any other suggestions ...I think protien shakes are so reccomended because they are filling....but I did want to say welcome to they group.

Wow what a neat journey you and your mom will have. Welcome to the group. There is a wealth of information and support here. As far as liquids go, sf Jello sf popsicles, broth, what ever Protein Shakes your nutritionist says you can have at this time, Five days won't be so bad. And it will make your surgery easier

Wishing you and your Mom the very very best. I am so excited to see how you guys do. Please stay in touch. Hugs

Welcome! Unjury chicken broth is really good for liquid stages before and after.

Welcome to the group & Protein Shakes are recommended for the liquid diet.< /p>

Welcome! I wish my mom was doing it w me too! Actually my brother might do it soon after. Insurance won't approve him. He is very obese but has no comorbidities. I'm trying to talk him into just taking out a loan

My pleasure. The more people we know and meet the easier our journey will be.

[Okie Girl 2]

I agree! Have you had your surgery yet Jeff?

[Jeff 43]

No ma'am...I'm slotted for February 22nd. Which seems like an eternity from now. Just gives me time to lose more and get healthier before the procedure.

How about you?

Surgery date is set for Jan. 7th. I have 1 more appt this week with heart doctor & a EGD scope a couple days after Christmas, fingers crossed I pass both appointments. Best of luck to you, I will add you to my prayer list.
