miso Soup, white grape fruit juice, crystal light popsicles. sugar free Jello in every flavor known to mankind

I was just at an Asain grocery store the other day and they have broths in every flavor: shrimp, spicy shrimp, crab, fish, beef, chicken, etc. I was so happy as I am starting my 2 weeks clear liquid tommorrow...

Glad you are doin ok and congrats on the band!!!!

Thank you for your suggestions. I am not sure why, but I had to do Clear Liquids for 2 days prior to my surgery. I keep seeing where most people had to do 2 weeks prior to surgery. Man, that has got to be tough. I will say a prayer for you.

I tried just buying broth in chicken and beef but I wouldn't stand the taste. I resorted to just using the flavoring packet in ramen noodles. no noodles, just broth. Since I love ramen, it was a good staple for me.

Marie, try adding the ramen seasoning packet to the chicken or beef broth you purchased - that way you get the flavor and the needed Protein.

I was not aware that the ramen seasoning packet or broth had much protein....how much do they contain?

I used to live on ramen noodles. Read the label. The seasoning is very high in sodium and other things not so good for you. I highly recommend unjury chicken broth flavored Protein powder - 21g or Protein. It calls for 1 scoop in 8 oz of Water, but I usually double the Water. I also add it to mashed potatoes to add more protein.

Isopure protein waters have 40g of protein in a 20oz bottle. They come in several flavors. I get them at GNC, which has a lot of other Protein drinks.

I think one package of ramen seasoning has 10g Protein.

For your ticker, you get the code when you are done creating it, and then copy and paste it into your signature.

I agree!! Unjury is at the top of my reccommendation list. I had the chicken Soup flavor for Breakfast every day post-op until I ran out.

You can only get it online at unjury.com, but they ship pretty quickly. So you won't have it today, but in a coupla days when you get it, it will be a welcomed change.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
