HELP

I am to start my liquid diet in the am but I dont know how much of everything I am allowed to comsume aday Any and All advice welcomed!!!

Kim are you on clear liquids? or protien liquid? my surgeon has me on 3 protein shakes and few snacks diet jello,pudding etc...let me know and I can email you a list of whatever diet you need. Nancy

The guidelines from my dr. were: -No solid foods -select a protein supplement with a min. of 20-30 grams of protein and less than 9 grams of sugar per serving. -try to consume approximately 1000 calories a day. "If you need more, that's okay, but try to stick to 1000" -In addition I could have all the non-caloric liquids I wanted: water, SF Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, SF jello, SF popsicles, broth, etc. I usually have about 4 protein shakes per day mixed with 8 oz. skim milk. Another option is to have No Sugar Added Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with 8 oz. milk and 2 Tbls powdered milk. Today is my 13th day of my 2 week liquid diet. I am actually having trouble getting in 1000 cals. because I just don't want anything (and this is pre surgery). I guess that is why my weight loss has stalled the last 3 days But I have still managed to lose 17lbs. Best of luck to you and if I you have any questions, feel free to email me. Take care! Susan
