Need creative clear liquid ideas please!



Recommended Posts

Hi - I had my sleeve done last Thursday (3/25) and my surgeon wants me on Clear liquids for another 5 days. I'm getting a little bored with Isopure, Crystal Light, Beef and chicken broth, and SF popsicles. Does anybody have any unusual or different things that you've done? I saw a suggestion somewhere else about cucumber Water (puree the cuke in a food processor and then strain out the pulp) that I'm going to try. I would love some variety right about now.

Thanks!

It's not "creative", but I enjoyed SF Jell-O. I bought a variety pack and found the taste to be yummy.

I bought a large miso Soup from a local restaurant and strained out the bits. I was able to get the flavor and was left with a relatively clear liquid. I also made a pot of Lipton french onion soup with a bit extra Water to dilute. I strained out all the onions and had a pretty clear flavored broth left.

Thanks, all. I appreciate the ideas!

Hugapug - my wife got some miso Soup and french onion soup from Whole Foods. The miso soup definitely didn't look clear, but maybe I should try a restaurant or another brand. The french onion soup had cane juice as its third ingredient, so I've been reluctant to use it.

I read somewhere that somebody strained egg drop Soup from their local Chinese restaurant. I am scheduled for June, so I've kept that in the back of my mind. :001_smile:

When I had my band, I asked my local chinese place to sell me "non wonton/wonton soup" they just sold me the broth which is 1000% more delish than plain broth. They just came up with a price to charge me....might be worth asking...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
