I'm the same as Shelly. I've heard so many different answers to this question. It's best to check with your Dr.

 Hi, 

I am drinking Protein Shakes, Sugar Free Jello, Sugar Free Pudding, Sugar Free popsicles, Crystal light, Tomato Soup, broth and water.  My surgery is on 6/29/11. Wish me luck!

Good luck! I have lost 240 pounds and having surgery was the best thing I have ever done for myself! I just need to get back on the wagon so I am planning a 10 day liquid diet. I am going to stick with the things u listed. I want to shrink my tummy down a tad. I am going to add in skim milk with Carnation Instant Breakfast (sugarfree) also.

Thank you!!

Best of Luck!!!!!!!  You can do it!
