You should check with your surgeon's office about clear liquids. I've seen everything from Water, to broth, to Jello on liquid lists. GOOD LUCK!

My doc's written instructions say anything that is semi clear - like chicken or beef broth (nothing with chunks or even little seasoning particles) - is considered a clear liquid. Basically if you can run it through a strainer, it's okay. For the 1st week I was allowed clear liquids and all the Protein Shakes I wanted.

I too am being sleeved on the 5th, and your number in your name is my oldest daughters birthday :-)

Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing as soon as you can. My bag had been packed since December.

Clear liquids are tea, Water, chicken broth etc.

They might be difficult. Do not worry. If you can only get 1/4 teaspoon in at a time ... just have a 1/4 teaspoon at a time.

IT WILL GET BETTER every day.

Dont worry if you can't sleep Tuesday night. You WILL sleep all day Wednesday

Good Luck/

Don't be shy about asking for pain meds.

They will want to know when you fart. Enjoy it. Probably the only time in your life people WANT you to fart!

Yay, happy dance for ya! At the hospital they will let you know what you can have the clear menu is what I was put on. And I found the popscicles a big treat. The tray of food took over an hour to finish and just when you do finish your meals you want to fall asleep and the nurse pop in with pain medication. So it's all good!
