2 week liquid diet?

[w106fox 62]

I start mine on April fools day :-) how classically ironic? :-) lol - any way- any suggestion on what helped you get through? Luckily we have an ice machine at work, I think that will help with the need to chew? Possibly?

Ugh, if someone has a tip, let me know! I started mine 3.20.13 and I have my surgery on 4.01.13. I'm on HMR shakes. I put PB2 and SF FF pudding mix in them to make them tolerable. I have to put them in a shake machine because they have to be cold. I've been drinking broth. Lots of chicken broth.

Nella- I bought beef and chx bouillon and ready to drink my broth but there's got to be more than that! Lol! I also have tried a few other recipes for Protein shakes some good some not so much :-/

I like the actual chicken broth in the cartons over the bouillion. I was told SF ice pops and Jello. I like to leave my jello hot and drink it that way.

[Nel 189]

SF Jello of course and I'm only managing to choke down 3 shakes a day. I'm supposed to be eating 5. I just can't do it.

I put a scoop and half in mine to get more but my nut said as long as you got down 4 it was ok just make sure you get your total amount of fluids

sugar free Jello is only 10 calories per serving I bought a whole bunch of different flavors and have them waiting for me in the fridge.

This is day six of my two week liquid diet and everyday I stare at that stupid shake cup with disgust and love all at the same time. I know that I will hate drinking it but I know I will love the results in the end. So far, 10lbs down. This has been one of the hardest things I have done. I never realized how much I was addicted to chewing. I actually got all excited yesterday, when I realized that next Tuesday I didn't have to drink another shake. Crazy how I got happy about that.

Tons of SF Jello, popsicles, broth (organic), Water. I too have managed to get four shakes a day down. Five is overload for me. You can do! Trust me, I thought I was going to fail after day three. I wish you the best. My surger is April 4th. fingers crossed

Even after surgery your dr and or nut may require you to drink at least one Protein Shake a day. :-( my dr has upped mine to 2 shakes a day because at my year post op my Protein levels were down. So I am back to drinking 2. Ugh and I'm 13 months out!! Hang in there ladies the trials you go thru now are so worth it!!!

I'm trying to keep that mentality! I know I can do it! I haven't started yet though :-) I'm enjoying my "last" week of textures :-)

What I used to get me through was putting cinnamon on the shakes. It made them actually yummy! Also I went through a big bottle of franks red hot sauce. Put that in my broth with salt and pepper since I am more of a salt tooth. I used both beef and chicken broth. It wasn't easy but totally worth it. Bc of the lost weight and smaller liver the surgeon didn't have to do more than 4 incisions including the one for the drain. Losing the weight was also motivation.

I was craving egg nog so I made it by putting nutmeg and cinnamon in my vanilla shake. Also used a little sprinkle of butter buds for buttery taste. Turns out good and breaks the monotony of regular shakes.< /p>

[w106fox 62]

Awesome ideas! Please keep them coming! I'm going shopping this weekend for my "liquids"! C'mon! There are more than 7 people on this forum that have had to do the liquid diet! I need ideas! :-)

You're having yours on MY BIRTHDAY! It's a wonderful day and I'm sure it will go great. I'm so scared I can hardly stand it. Mine is the 1st.

I started adding 2 packs of shake mix in one. woot. I'll have my five in today! *and PB2 is my hero. officially*

I add a tbsp of sugar free banana Cream Pie Jello mix & a tsp of butter extract to my vanilla shake. Tastes like actual banana cream pie. I used to add a low fat graham cracker if you can do that.

Butterfinger: 1 tbsp Peanut Butter, 1 tbsp sugar free Jello Butterscotch mix to either chocolate or vanilla shake
