    Hi there. I drank four protein drinks, chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. And light and fit greek yogurt with no pieces of fruit in it. And lots of water. My Doctor had me on 900 calories and 80 or more grams of protein per day. Also could have sugar free jello and popsicles. Do you have any guidlines from your doctor?

    Yes, I have a list from my doctor. It is divided into "Clear Liquids" and Full Liquids. My dr said that he used to require liquids 2 weeks pre-op, but has lowered it to just 5 days. I have been doing liquids during the day, but eating a small dinner with my family, just to experiment. I have found some soups that I think I can have. My favorite is Low Sodium Progresso Tomato Basil. I have not added protein to soup yet and I have not had broth yet. So the clear liquid is for the firsts 3 days post-op. But I can have the "Full Liquid" list for the Pre-op. Right? I may call my doctor Monday just to be sure I am doing it right! I am really nervous about making it through these liquid days!

    Aww you can do it! If I survived 2 weeks of liquids, you can survive 5 days. Protein shakes will stick with you much longer and give you the energy you'll need so be sure to find one you like

    It's something I didn't have to go thru except a dew days before surgery.
    It's hard to say what to drink or not eat.
    After all its what going to make u happy and full.
    Good luck and congrats on your steps to a new You.
