I'm on my 3rd day of clear fluids and I could eat a mankey dog! I also feel really weak. Can you have iso-pro the protien shake in the clear fulids faze. I was banded at TLBC and Jill's not into day. If anyone knows please answer as I feel it might just take the edge off. Thanks guys ! Jx

Hmmm, I'm not sure about the shakes

But have you had broth? ? I find that great, I've heard other people banded at TLBC put some parm cheese in it. That might add a little something.

Also, Jello, the first 1/4 cup I had of it I felt soo full.

Make sure to drink lots of Water, and have a couple of sugar free popciles(i make my own..yum!)

Hang in there, I know it's hard(counting down the hours till I get my full fluids...mmm..creamy soup)

Maybe like a small fruit slurpee thing? crushed ice might fill ya up!

Just think 1.5 more days and you get lotsss more things!!!!

You're right Consafo.

Maral said it was OK to melt some parmesan cheese in the broth. I also found that the homemade broth would quell the hunger much better. I made my home with chicken skimming off the fat as it boiled, I made sure that it boiled to death so that all the Protein from the chicken ended up in the broth.

Eat some Jello, popcicles, juice and broth. If you're still having problems, call tomorrow and ask if you can add a Protein Shake.< /p>

I did have iso protien on clear fluids. Just 1/4 cup per meal. I was told not to start the boost/meal replacement till Full fluids.

Full fluids I found the most challenging. I have 2 days left!!! I cant wait. Its pretty rough. The best thing I did was count down to the new thing that gets to happen. As people also mentioned keep busy. I found now that I have gone back to work I dont think about food as much as I did.

Jetlagjane---how ya feeling. Like I read u were having a hard time...things getting better?

Miranda...I'm looking foreward to full fluids!

But I gotta say, I'm a pudding addict!

Hi Consafo;

Its soooo funny how we all think alike here. When I was on clear broth I was like counting the days down till I could have pudding. All I talked about was pudding. Now.....well....I am not loving pudding anymore. It still is the highlight of the day though (that 1/4 cup).

Now with you being an addict maybe you will love everyday of it!

hey Miranda, Yes I'm feeling soooooo much better! I swear to god I thought I was dying, not that I'm a drama queen. Yes, been up and about today, even went to get my nails done, well, a girls got to have standards.

Jxxxxxxxxx

I am on Clear fluids right now as well! But they told me to have 1 Opti-fast shake split into 3 everyday! So that is what I have been doing! I have also had a couple mouthfuls of really runny creams Soups. I had some Jello last night and old habits die hard, the first 2 bites were slow but i was not paying attention and i had a big bite and it hurt like hell! So I will not be having any jello or anything else. I do not want to mess things up! But I also feel weak and a little shaky! And very Hungery!
