preop liquids suggestions

[30sunshine 5]

My surgery is on the 10th, I am on day 3 of my week long liquid diet. It has been tough mentally, but I bought a couple of fun drinking cups and cute Soup mugs, I think it really helps with the overall presentation of the liquid meals. Does anyone have any other suggestions of how to make the liquid diet more appealing?

It's only a week. Just suck it up. 7 days out of the rest of your life. It's a small price to pay. Take advantage of different brands and flavors of Protein Drinks. Use Dasani or Mio drops or Torani syrups to add variety. I'm assuming you will be on liquids quite awhile postop, too. Even at 6 months out I get at least 1/2 of my Protein from my shakes. I've got at least 8 different protein powders and dozens of flavor options in my house right now. Use unflavored Protein Powder in broths and strained Soups for more a a savory alternative.

I'm currently doing research on ProSource, ProSource Plus and ProSource No Carb. The liquid Protein blends with anything hot or cold. I thought of using it in my pre-op liquid phase and post-op clear liquid phase instead of buying expensive ready-to-drink bottles with Protein mixed in for you. I've read that someone was given this in the hospital mixed with Crystal Light.
