Today was my first day of the liquid diet... I think I could eat my arm right now and I have to do this for two weeks....

I'm drinking protein drinks, the unjury chicken soup (which is pretty good), jello, and Popsicles....

does anyone have any other suggestions or something outside the box???

I made my own chicken broth/chicken soup and sprained it myself and drank that and let me tell you that is the only thing that helped me thru the pre-op diet (28 days). I feed my dog the solids so the were so so happy.

I don't have suggestions since I'm not yet at that phase, but wanted to just say you can totally do this! When my pre-op liquid starts it will be for 4 weeks. I'm not thrilled about that but keep thinking I can do anything for a short period of time (and in reality, 4 weeks is short). 

 

Hang in there and be strong!

I drank a lot of Vitamin Water Zero, it helped balance electrolytes.  I know you probably won't believe it but after the 4th day it gets much easier

Survive the first 3-4 days and you'll be fine.  :)
