Winning the pre-op liquid diet mind game.

[Zentastic 15]

I've gotten quite creative with my liquid diet and seem to still have lots of success at keeping carbs in single digits. It seems like many people love these milk shake tasting Protein Drinks but i can only stomach one or two a day. My instructions say I should be drinking 3 or 4. I am not a big sweets eater. I'm more of a savory person. I enjoy fatty meats and gravies with rich tasting vegetables. This is why I have created my own high Protein broths and named them after foods I enjoy.

--> juice parsley, cilantro, kale or any other green leaf separately. Pour each juice into an ice tray.

Once you have bags of labeled Leaf juice drop a cube in your broth after it comes to a boil. This will cool it fast and make it the temp you want.

Use the seasonings you like to create different flavored broths.

If you add plain powdered protein this can take the place of a sweet shake. Make sure you get a protein that can be put in hot Water.

My favorite spices:

Powdered Ginger

Powdered Smoked Paprika

Powdered Onion

Powdered Garlic

Curry powder

Powdered Cumin

Powdered Cardamom

I'm the same and am on day 3 of 14 and struggling because the shakes are so sweet. chicken broth and lemon have been my friend. Definitely going to try what you're doing. What brand Protein Powder are you using to mix into hots? My sx date is 12-31.

My pro op diet is to window shop and decide what I will buy once I hit Onederland.

Isopure whey Protein Isolate is the protein I am using for hot broths. Just incase anyone was wondering.
