My surgery is scheduled for July 16th and the liquid diet is not too bad. I have an Atkins high Protein Shake in the morning, broth for lunch, a Special K Protien Water for a snack, Jello, an Isopure drink before dinner, strained Soup for dinner, and for dessert I have another jello. Surprisingly I am quite satisfied. I got my tonsils out 2 weeks ago and I have been on a semi-liquid diet since then so maybe that has helped me. My insurance approved me a few weeks ago. I did everything I was told to (6 month diet, dietician, etc) and they said that they would pay. My pre-op is tomorrow and I am excited!!!
