I am very confused. I am instructed to do 1 week totally clear diet only liquid you can seen through and this includes Jello, than week 2 becomes creamed Soups protien shakes. On the forum here is says Jello is not included in the clear catagory and why cannot I make my own protien banana smoothie? I was just banded 1 week ago

thanks

Jello was included in my clear foods.

Different surgeons categorize their dietary requirements different ways. "Water" is a perfect example. Per my surgeon, Water is Water, nothing else is water. So things like tea, crystal light, etc. do not count toward WATER intake. With some surgeons, Jello counts toward water intake.

Don't worry about what's said on the forums so much as what your surgeon's guidelines are, unless you have some really serious reason for doubting their advice.

I'm not sure why you can't make your own Protein banana smoothie...? Did someome tell you it has to be made by someone else?
