It said Water, tea,broth,jello...but what else? i kinda want to start the clear liquid diet tomorrow(sunday). Please help I dont think i can just deal with water,tea,jello and broth! I have tons of crystal light..mostly fruit punch is that allowed? Thanks!!!

Chrystal light is considered clear. What you memtioned is pretty much it. You can do it. I did it for 2 Days.

That's a no to Protein Shakes. At least for me it was. Think of it this way: the clearer you drink the cleaner your colon will be, the easier time you'll have with your bowels the few days after your surgery.

If u put it in a glass (or clear bowl) and can see through it, it's clear. All of the above mentioned are clear. No Protein Shakes. Add mio to ur Water or crystal light. Low sodium broth, sf Jello sf Popsicles. My list also said nothing with red or orange coloring...not sure if urs does or not

I ate the hell out of sf popsicles all during my clear liquid and full liquid diets (still on full liquids hopefully just until Wednesday). In fact, I think I will have one now.

My 2 week post op "clear liquids" included protein shakes. Any kind of Protein Shakes, not just the clear ones made with Water.< /p>

[Bmarion662 76]

Don't forget the Isopure Protein drinks are considered clear

[Bmarion662 76]

Oh and vitmin Water, Apple juice no sure added. White grape juice

Yes, that's about it. Also you can have the broth of miso Soup and wonton soup. Not too much variety with clear liquid diet. I had to do it for 2 weeks post op as well.
