I have been on Clear liquids for 3 weeks now. sugar free Jello is your friend. Crystal light, brothy Soups, sugar free popicles, motts for totts applejuice ( it has lower sugar and sodioum ) gatorade 2 ( it has the lower amount of callories.)

Good Luck.

There's not very much to a clear liquid diet. Anything you can see thru (juice, tea, crystal lite, sugar free popsicles, broth, and sugar free jello) are about it. How long do you have to do the clears for? Is this before or after surgery? I didn't have any kind of diet before (so glad about that!) Have fun on the clears!

I added Protein Powder, per my Dr's office suggestion, to help make the liquid fill me up a little bit more. I'm on day 2 and I am dying! I don't understand how some people have to diet for weeks, other's days and yet others not at all?? I mean, it's really hard!! And if we have the strength to go weeks without solid food, we wouldn't need to have weight loss surgery. I don't mean that to be funny or critical, but I would think they could at least give us something to curve our appetite. I take medications that make me hungry even when I am eating regular solid foods! Grr.
