I was very lucky that I didn't have to do the liquid diet and I actually only had 5 days notice that my surgery was coming. I've heard from others in the past that certain drinks didn't work for them. Some of them did ok with Boost but not ensure, some used Glucerna as it had less sugar and they had less of a reaction to it. Try out some different ones to see if some work better than others. Also talk to your dietation about using your own protein powder and mixing it in fluids that you will like. A lot of people have stated the first 3 days are the worst and then after that it's smooth sailing.

Good Luck.

Hi Janet,

My surgery will be in Edmonton, Feb 23 is the date. :)

Sometimes if you call your nurse they may allow you  lettuce  to help with a break from the liquid alone I know  they let me when I was sick to my stomach and feeling hungry too  also maybe water down your ensure may help too ,  just a suggestion is all

When did you have your surgery YEGgirl? Was it in Calgary?
