mandylala12 1 Posted December 11, 2011 My surgery is tomorrow (!) and I'm having trouble with the Clear Liquids. I only have to do it two days pre-op, but it's hard. I will be on clears for two weeks after and I'm really hoping it's not going to be this hard. Any tips/words of encouragement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas CPA 496 Posted December 11, 2011 You will be fine. It does not have to be clear liquids. You can have things like Protein Shakes, apple sauce, mashed potatoes. I also had mashed peas and other mashed foods. The doctor will or should give you a list of things. Even in hospital the diet was Water, tea, apple sauce.
