I'm on day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet and I've found the different brands of broth can vary in taste so I say find one u like it can live with just note our taste buds can change. Post-op during my week of Clear Liquids I plan to have the following:

broth

Crystal Light

SF Popsicles

SF Jello

Isopure fruity drink with 40grams of Protein. Not sure if I can stomach it because it taste pretty gross but has a ton of protein.

I have to do clears this coming up weekend and bought sf popsicles, crystal light, a variety of cubes to make broth but reading the label yesterday on day one of my liquid diet, it showed 800 mg of sodium! :o I can only do one cup with that much sodium! If I do more than I will retain every bit of liquid I take in. I will be going back to the store today or tomorrow to see if they have a low/no sodium variety. I want something hot at times and that was the only thing I didn't have to limit, but with that amount of sodium I will have to limit to once a day. :(

I lived on Water, broth, SF green or yellow Jello, clear low calorie juices, and SF lemonade juice BAR type popsicles.

      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.
