HELP! Which clear liquids should I buy?



Recommended Posts

I know chicken broth and I assume it needs to be low sodium but does anyone have any SPECIFIC recommendations?? Im having surgery Friday and want to order some ahead of time to have it all ready. Also what about clear Protein? what kind?

I found cytosport whey to be the best tasting clear Protein. I bought it at Vitamin Shoppe. I only needed like 6 bottles before regular protein at full liquid stage. Honestly protein isn't a huge deal for a few days, you will have enough problems staying hydrated.

My nut told me that most of her patients can't deal with the taste of clear Protein the first week and to not worry about it. But my Clear Liquids consisted of:

-chicken broth (wonton Soup was a life saver from a restaurant)

-powerade zero or gatorade zero

-crystal light

-water

Really the cytosport whey is decent, especially diluted with lots of ice. I just sipped away. Tangerine and watermelon are the best two flavors. I didn't buy the case on the shelf, just individual bottles from the refrigerated section of the store.

      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.
