Clear liquid diet..HELP

[McLynz 3]

I am 4 days post op and have 2 more days before i am cleared to a full liquid diet.

I am have been living on SF Jello, SF Popsicles, strained chicken Soup, tea, and Water. Not allowed Protein Shakes yet.

I am desperate need of some variety. I was thinking of making the old Weight Watchers vegetable soup recipe and straining that. Any other suggestions? I'm dying over here... Lol

I am on day 7 of my 14 day pre-op diet. I am allowed four Protein Shakes a day and Clear Liquids only. I have lost 13 pounds in 6 days. I am nauseous a lot and really feel awful. Anyone else have this hard of a time with the diet? I have 7 days left! Ugh! Had to take Reglan to get thru my day at work last Friday. Not looking forward to this week! I am a nurse in a pediatricians office and don't sit down all day.

I am 2 months presurgery and I decided to try the liquid diet for a week to see what's in store for me. I have just completed day1. I look forward to reading how the next 7 days goes for you!

The after surgery diet is what scares me the most about the surgery. I am very picky, very very picky.. So I feel like I am going to struggle through. I keep thinking "how am I going to get enough nutrition when I like NOTHING" lol. Hopefully these forums will help. I think the clear liquid will be boring but not that hard, it will be when i can do full liquid because my dietitian is talking about like adding cottage cheese and blending it and eating cream Soups and that just absolutely disgusts me.
