WhiteSand 11 Posted February 6, 2016 I am so excited! I am on day 13 of my clear liquid, Protein shake pre-op diet so I understand what you new pre-opers are going through. Here are a few things that has helped me - if you can have sugar free popsicles try putting an orange one in your vanilla shake (or any flavor popsicle), put a little Decaf instant coffee in shakes it helps cut down on sweetness as well as changes the flavor and of course the sugar free syrups. I have caramel and I combine a chocolate shake with a few squirts of caramel and a little instant coffee and its just like Starbucks...not really but it's something different! I also got an ice tea maker so I can put decaf tea in it and add stevia if I want it a little sweet and mint if I'm feeling real crazy. I got tired of the taste of sweeteners. Also, congrats to all that are on the losers bench already! Its so inspiring to hear how well everyone is doing! Keep letting us know what works for you and how you're doing! I'm praying and thinking about all of you!!! I have surgery this Monday, Feb 8th so if you could do the same for me I would appreciate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
