So, I start my full liquid diet tomorrow, in preparing I have a question.  I understand that I am to drin sugar free liquids etc but I can add cream based soupes.  Do these foods have to be sugar free and fat free as well?!?!  Thanks for your help!

The guidelines I received for the liquid diet - soups is this -

Low-Fat, blended soup containing less than 180 calories or 10 grams of fat per cup (Healthy Choice, Campbell’s Healthy Request)  No noodles, pasta, rice, dumplings, or barley


And Tomato soup.

I can do this, I can do this, I can do this - AND SO CAN YOU!!

I did Atkin's shakes with added protein powder, Low Carb Slim Fast shakes with added protein powder.
SF Pudding - They have singles out there with Skim Milk
And that is pretty much it for my pre-op LD.
Regular Jello and I just don't seem to mix well.

Back in the day, PNC would not allow soups. You're supposed to drink non-caloric liquids, but your protein shakes do not need to be Sugar Free pre-op. You can have regular carnation instant breakfast and the like. Just remember not to drink it Post-op! :)

Brian - I think you are post op, right?  The full liquids are only for 3 days with Dr. Jones, so it will go quick.  I added soup, milk and sf pudding.  I ate tomato soup with milk.

Good luck!
