Pre-OP Liquid diet recipes

[chamilton0323 50]

Anyone have some pre-op liquid diet recipes they would like to share? I'm 4 days in and already bored with what I am drinking. Thanks in advance!

I just started day one and my nutritionist said I could make homemade egg drop Soup.

I start my liquid diet this Thursday. I was told I could have unlimited Crystal Light drinks, Swanson's Low Sodium chicken or beef broth (only 1 8oz cup per day). If you are looking for a variety in your shakes, are you using the flavored powders? I was told I could mix my flavored powder with 1/4 tsp of either vanilla, almond, orange, or strawberry extract. I will be using the BariEssential Meal Replacement powders.

Chocolate Mint - 1 scoop of Choc BariEssential, 8 oz of Fat Free Skim Milk or Water, 1/4 tsp peppermint extract, 4-6 ice cubes.

Snicker Doodle - 1 scoop of Vanilla BariEssential, 8 oz of fat free skim milk or water, 1/4 tsp Cinnamon, 4-6 ice cubes

I add my cold morning coffee, shake mix, and a drop of peppermint extract to ice, and blend it for a peppermint mocha smoothie. I'm going through mild Starbucks withdrawal lol

Those both sound good!!! I'll have to try them both!

I'm using Bariessential too. Since my post I have tried mixing crystal light orange and lemonade with the vanilla and skim milk and they are good! This morning i use some instant Decaf coffee, with Torani sugar free caramel, vanilla, and skim milk. I was also told you could mix PB2 with the shakes so i have been mixing it with the chocolate shake

Today I am trying:

Banana Almond Creme

1 scoop Vanailla BariEssential

8oz Fat Free Skim Milk

1/4 tsp Almond Extract

1/2 tsp Imitation banana Extract

4-6 ice cubes.

I can relate. Went out to a restaurant today with my family. Ordered chic noodle Soup & had the broth only. Day 1 of my liquid diet.

[Angel11 126]

Day 3 of my liquid diet. This isn't easy. I have lost 5 pounds since Saturday. This liquid diet really tests what will power you have. Onward and upward!

Yes this is so nice. I got the Hot and Sour and strained all the stuff out and it was soooo yummy. I just finished my first week of three week pre-op diet and doing good. I'm down 8lb.

***My life saver is the sugar free Jello. I add 1 scoop of Unjury Unflavored Protein Powder to a cup of cold Water, mix real good and then add that to my already dissolved jello that is 1 cup hot water. I like firm firm jello so I do 2 pkgs jello to 2 cups water total. One hot to dissolve the jello and one cold for the Protein powder. Mix both and pour into single serve containers. I add the protein powder to make sure I get enough protein in for the day because I have trouble doing three premiere Protein Shakes a day. I really get sick of all the sweet. blah

I also use Unjury chicken flavor Soup protein mix too... this is so good. I'm going to experiment and had it in unflavored Gelatin see how that works. LOL - soup cubes *wink*

I do use broth cubes for convenience, but I don't want to much sodium so I also buy the organic premade broth from Walmart. These are good and less sodium. I am allowed cottage cheese on my pre-op diet so that helps too, cause I can sprinkle with seasonings.

I also am allowed Oikos triple zero yogurt once a day. Those are so yummy. Coffee flavor is my FaV!

For those of you just starting your pre-op. I'm already not feeling as hungry as I used too. I have to remind myself sometimes to make sure I get enough stuff in for the day. Its true once you get past the first four or five days it gets easier. I do miss a crunch now and then. LOL - I did have (bad bad) a few of those Quest protein chips. But just got right back on. This diet is to help us shrink our livers and drop a few pounds to help in lessen any complications during surgery. It also helps us detox and ready our body and minds for the changes its about to go through. Everybody's pre-op diet is different. Just depends on your program and doctors requirements and your current health. I'm scheduled July 12th and so excited and nervous.
