Need liquid ideas

Jessie45 · 10-10-2007, 04:05 PM

My doctor has me on a 2 week liquid diet before the surgery and 2 weeks after...I'm so sick of Jell-o and juices. I know my liver has to shrink does anyone know if I can have anything besides chicken and beef broths...Thanks

Kind of funny, this exact thing gets posted on a weekly basis.

Draining the broth out of brothy soup (like chicken noodle soup campbell's) was really refreshing to me after heating up plain ol' chicken broth.

Try popsicles. The broth in ramen noodles. Pre-op I only had 3 days of liquid, and post-op I didn't want to eat AT ALL during my liquid phase anyway, so it wasn't too torturous for me. Hopefully post-op you'll be the same way, so it's just these 2 weeks to tough it out.
Keep your eye on the prize!
Oh, chew ice if you feel the need to chew.

Keep in mind some of these are for post op and should not be used when trying to shrink your liver pre-op. For instance, those with potatoes and other starchy veggies, those higher in fat, etc.
