I drank slim fast optima...I wasn't a fan at all..to this day I cannot stomach one!! Gross. It was all liquid, although I think they said I could have one cup of veggies per day with no oil or fat--just like salt/pepper. It was not fun...but you'll get through it. You could ask if you can switch to carnation instant breakfast...but not sure if they'll let you, I think it's higher in carbs and less Protein.

GOOD LUCK

I drank a lot of the Unjury shake mix. The chocolate and vanillan were really not bad and I mixed in some instant coffee for variety. Thye also make a chicken Soup one that really helped to break all that sweetness. My dr. also let me have one cup of veggies during the two weeks but you need to ask your dr if that is ok.

Hi Josie,

My liquid phase consisted of Protein Shakes, Jello, sugar free popsicles, broth, juice, etc.

For the shakes, I liked Adkins or Slim Fast Protein shakes the best. Although I have heard lots of people like Muscle Milk....I had one and didnt like it so much. I ate the heck out of some popsicles though, bc I really missed being able to chew something! I enjoyed chicken broth more than the beef broth.

It is hard, but hopefully the weight loss that usually comes with the liquid diet will help. Aim for at least 60 oz of Water a day.

good luck!
