question about 2 week preop diet
Could you try adding unflavored protein to low sodium v8? I've not tried it yet... but there are only 70 calories in a can. Isopure chocolate powder is more subtly sweet than others I've tried. Good luck. It seems to go pretty fast. I'm on day 4 and already down four pounds.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. It's time to try something new!
Yes, I am not sure if there is a Kroger grocery store where you are, but they have a great diet pink lemonade that is my on strict approved list for my pre-op diet. I stopped drinking it as much the first few days of the diet, then I went back, and it was almost too sweet. Try that, and Crystal Light. They are pretty good.
ok, so I am on day 6. I start in the morning with either a protein shake OR 1 cup of diet v8 splash and 1 cup of decaf tea. Then, mid morning, I have either a carbsmart yogurt (6oz I think it is) or a 6 oz cup of cottage cheese. For lunch, I have a shake. A couple hours later, I have either the yogurt, or the cottage cheese (whichever I didin't eat), and I have a shake later in the evening about an hour before bed. This routine has helped me not be hungry. I drink pleant of water in between and sometimes with the cottage cheese or yogurt, I eat a sugar free jello if I don't feel satisfied enough. I hope this helps, but always talk to you Nut or surgeon 
I was able to supplement chicken breast for a bar or shake. My NUT said as long as the carbs/ fat and protein are the same and your still losing. I could not stand the artificial sweetness of the shakes and bars. I am really not a fan of sucralose. The first few days are hard but then the lbs come off :)
