Pre OP clear liquid diet challenges.

[EAGML's Gigi 4]

I am on Day 4 of clear liquid diet because surgery is on Oct 3. I really wanted to know what others when you need to grocery shop and cook for your families. I have been working but now have 2 days off to get chores done and am worry about keeping to the diet.

You're doing Just clear fluids no shakes?

That's a tough one, as medically the most that one needs to do such things is a day or so to clean things out (beyond that it's one of those "what are they thinking..." things.

When I have had to do them for things like colonoscopies, I have used some of the clear Protein Drinks (Isopure, Premier) to provide some Protein satiety, and I generally make Jello with them (if that is allowed) so that there is something solid-ish to have. One can also alternate with some unflavored or chicken flavored Protein Powder in broth to counter the over-sweetness of other protein drinks and Jellos.

Good luck! (what are they having you do post-op if they put you through this pre-op?)

No shakes allowed , just doing Protein Water, broth and water. I am not a Jello person. Thanks for the replies.

No, but I wouldn't eat anything like that again. Please stick to the diet as you're trying to shrink your liver. Good luck.
