Liquid Diet Help!!

I just started my 2 weeks before Liquid Diet and this is my first day and I'm already board. Help!! I have to do 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after.....Other then broth, crystal light and water I need some help....What all did you guys eat or I guess drink? I'm listening !

One of the things I found out was if you get Progresso soup and strain out all the goodies, the broth takes on the flavor of the veges and the noodles.  Also, how about sf popsicles, jello?  One of the things that helped me too, was hot and sour soup with all the goodies strained out because it has lots of flavor.

Hope that helps

Can't you drink protein drinks?  I would think you would need some to keep you going . . . or you are going to fall over without some nutrients!  :D

Yes Chris I'm drinking my protein shakes I haven't found one I truly like yet I'll keep looking. Thanks please let me know if you can think of anything else.

I know it sounds corny, but try to take it in smaller steps on "one day at time" or even "one meal at a time."  When I had my surgery, I didn't have to go through a liquid diet before or after, so I can't give you my personal advice of how I got through it. If your doctor will allow any kind of liquids, try boullion cubes in ho****er, tea, vegetable broth, etc.  You might want to order a bunch of sample packets of protein drinks from VitaLady.com for post-op needs so you can hopefully find a flavor you like or can tolerate. 

Try not to get overwhelmed right now and just stay focused.  You're two weeks away from your goal, so there's no quitting now.  You've worked too hard to get to the liquid diet stage so celebrate! 

Hang in there.  You can see the light at the end of that tunnel.

Thanks very much Kimberlee I'm going to do that one day at a time....

I just lerned about a product called World Wide Protien Shake, I got it at Trader Joe's, it contains 35 grams of protien, and the chocolate is not to bad.  It has been helping me allot.
