Full or Clear Liquids?

[youthguy80 65]

My surgeon was at two different hospitals with two different programs. One program required the Pre op diet to be Clear Liquids plus Protein Shakes and the other full liquids plus Protein. I'd love to know which one you all found beneficial. I'm thinking of trying to do the clear, in my head it's seems like it would help detox better than the full liquid.< /p>

I only did a 24 hr pre op liquid diet (up till 5 pm was full liquids, after 5 was clear) and don't think I could've survived the clear liquids pre op for much longer. Was on full liquids for 4 weeks post op (a little easier since the first 2 weeks I didn't want much anyway, after 2 weeks I was STARVING). At least I could eat cream Soups. Can't on a clear liquid diet. not sure I would do clears for very long on purpose just cuz I wanted to.

Good luck!
