clear liquids AUGH! any suggestions



Recommended Posts

wow, I'm super excited about the 17th (my surgery day). However, I am not excited about the laxative tonight and these next 3 days of Clear liquids. I have been starving my way through the full liquids. Thank Campbell Soups for cream of potatoe Soup. slap that stuff in the Ninja and I was good to go. Of course, I didn't discover this until 3 days ago. Live and learn.

So if anyone has any really good suggestions for Clear Liquids I am all ears. I get hypoglycemic very easily and need the Protein. And those Protein Shots are super sweet.

This past week I had Wonton Soup....OH HOW I WISH I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT during my liquid stage. IT was WONDERFUL!!!! Just drinking the broth was a treat...the FLAVOR...was OH SO GOOD!! I'm still on mushy's but I went out to eat with a friend to PF CHANGS and that is all I could think to eat. I told my friend she could have my fortune cookie. She opened hers and it said, "Today you will be with a friend and have lots of laughter"! WE were like OMG so she said I HAD to open mind and read it! My fortune cookie said, "Don't give up the beginning is alway hard, it will get better"! We were BLOWN away! LOL First time the fortune cookie spoke the truth!!! LOL We did have LOTS of laughter that day and it IS SO HARD at the beginning but it DOES GET BETTER!!!!

Isopure zero carb have 40gr Protein, clear, and are barely sweet at all. You might want to try those.

Good Luck!

dI think its the no carbs that is causing my problems...headache, fuzzy thinking and super sleepy. Drinking liquids only and they go right through I never seem to be satisfied. My stomach growls constantly even my co-workers talk about hearing it.

I'M HUNGRY!!!!!!!

I cannot say this enough, but powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup was such a godsend for me during my clear phase. It tastes good, is packed with the best Protein our bodies metabolize, is very filling and the warmth just makes you feel so good.

The clears phase is pretty tough and any little bit of sanity you can get from it is worth it!!!

Unjury Protein Powder unflavored and chicken Soup are definite lifesavers! I mix the unflavored with crystal light, I get my Water and Protein. I also mix the unflavored or the chicken flavored with the broth from caldo de pollo (chicken soup).

Does the protein powder really have "NO" flavor? I'm really nervous about starting the liquid diet as I CAN NOT stand protein powder like you can get put into your smoothies! Yuck!!!:blink:

I can't taste it but it definitely has a funky smell so I try not to smell it when I put it in my food. The chicken flavored is pretty good too.

Good luck I know the pre-op liquid diet is hard.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
