I couldn't make it three days with just liquids! I ate a half of a pickle and drank a little juice! I just couldn't stand all the sweet. I have to kick my self another day and just start fresh tomorrow! Any suggestions for liquid diet 1000 cal no solids?

Can you have broth? Or bullion? Alternating salty broth with the sweet drinks may help. Go ahead and have a sip of pickle juice. Don't eat the pickle.

Be tough! You can do it!

Thanks so much for your comment! Not a big beef broth fan! Must get to the store and get some chicken broth! I have not been able to get the full 1000 calories either. A pickle juice wash my not be in my near future! I have been burping up this nasty slim fast and I gave in! I didn't need it! You quickly realize that you eat when you are board or stressed! Better day tomorrow!

It's true that the liquid diet is when you make some real findings about your relationship with food!

Chicken boullion, lime, and hot sauce worked for me.

I was on five diabetic shakes (Ensure) a day and didn't mind them.

It sucks, it's a hoop, you can jump through it. Good luck to you!

Half a pickle and a little juice is NOT going to hurt you, this time... Don't do it again. Here's the key thing to remember: By following your pre-op plan you are helping you have a successful surgery. Amanda and O both have good advice...

Did good today, still having trouble getting the full 1000 calories in though! I drink four 180 cal van slim fast three 10 calorie sf jello,and a cup of chicken noodle soup strained no chicken or noodles! Then bed. Day five when I wake up!

The liq diet is the hardest part - stick with it - it will be well worth it.

Try Knorrs bouillon, it is very flavorful both the chicken and vegetable if you care for these flavors, I don't like beef...those worked great for me, if you are allowed, check with your doctor.

I was allowed V-8 juice on my pre-op... and I added salt to it! I, too, was sick of all the sweet. Ask your nutritionist if you can have V-8!

I found that the broth was way better than the slim fast shakes. I also plumped up my work and social schedule so that I wasn't sitting at home wishing I could eat. Eyes on the prize!!

The pre op liquid is the worst. That said it is necessary part of the process. Try to break it up with savoy/salty selections. This too shall pass.

I drank pickle juice during my 1st week home from post op, my sodium was low and I craved the pickle while my husband ate it so I got the juice and sipped it slowly and it helped fill my craving.. Still dont eat pickles at 2 months post

Thanks for all the advise! Today was very hard, I had trouble with my blood sugar staying up! I took my pump off and still had trouble! I keep working on the settings, I will get it soon! Just trying hard, I also went to a baby shower ! Talk about temptations!
