Surg tomorrow clear liquid diet today



Recommended Posts

I'm on my clear liquid diet today but I am having a Hard time with broth...it's grossing me out and I can't drink it without gagging today I've only managed Water, one sugar free frozen ice thing, and the magnesium citrate and i need ideas for the broth to get it down. I tried beef broth and chicken and I just can't. Help anyone?

What brand are you using? I know that sounds silly, but there is a difference. I grew up on Swansons, and bought Walmart brand to save money. the Walmart brand made me gag! It was tooooooo over-seasoned. Swansons is just broth, and is milder in taste. Watering down the Walmart stuff didnt help either.

That is all I can think to tell you.

I'm using the H-E-B brand I think I might just need Swanson or to make my own broth and let my family eat the fillings in the Soup.

Can you go get yourself some Isopure?

Hmmmm..... HEB brand is ok too. Just DON'T get Walmart brand!!! Just get a can of Swansons rather than the big box, in case you don't like it either. Some people on the forum seem to just not like plain broth. It's all about tastes, I suppose.

My NUT recommended the stock base. Like 'better than bouillon'. And reconstitute it. And my MIL is making me her vegetable beef Soup just for the broth upon my request. :)

woohoo i just found a solution to the clear liquid stage 1. surg 6/18. i have humapro 2 flavors but not a huge fan. finances are tight right now so that was going to have to be the solution. i bought sugar free Jello and mixed 2 scoops into it and mixed to directions. it is ok. so now 2 cups has turned into 50 grams of Protein. i have the peach mango and sour grape humapro. i bought peach and raspberry jellos to pair with the humapro.

No I was home Thursday night. I would have preferred to stay in the hospital because of the bed and the PCA pump lol

      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.
