Liquid Diet

Today starts my two week diet before surgery. So far so good. Got the pantry lined up with different things so I won't get worn out on one thing. Here's a list of some of the things I can have. After surgery it will be about the same things but with smaller amounts. 

Protein shakes 

    I have to really read labels & make sure it is a meal replacement shake. Or I can get the protein powder & make them myself with milk. (I prefer this to the pre-made ones). 

Soups & Broth 

    I can have several different kinds but only ones that are smooth & drinkable. If I get pre-made soups I must add protein powder to them. Let me say. It is hard to find a good unflavored one that isn't nasty. I can also use condensed soups, again as long as they aren't chunky. When making condensed, now before surgery, I'm adding 12oz of milk. The condensed soups I don't have to add the protein powder. But after surgery I will only add the amount it calls for. 

Chicken or Egg Salad 

    As long as its smooth & pourable aka drinkable. 

GreekYogurt    (Nothing with fruit pieces only fruit flavored or plain) 

Sugar Free Pudding

Decaffeinated & Herbal Tea

Sugar Free Popsicles

Sugar Free Jello

Water Flavor Additives 

    Mio (Nothing with caffeine), Chrystal light, power aid, I can have lemon juice. 

One thing for me is hard when choosing Popsicles, jello, mio, & other similar things. I have an allergy to red dye. Pretty much anything like that has it in it. I can find some Popsicles without it, but not in sugar free. Looks like I'll be making my own.
