My surgery date is Aug 4th and I am on my second day of Clear Liquids? ???????????! Yesterday I drunk some Isopure the apple flavor is that considered a clear liquid? I am worried I shouldn't have but it was on my list for after the surgery so I thought I could drink it. Please someone tell me if I was right or wrong I'm going crazy worrying about it????❗️

I don't remember it being on my list but as long as it's a liquid at this point I would stick with Water and called nut and get clarification. I don't think it's considered clear but at least it's a liquid and should be through your body pretty quickly.

I used it on clear liquids, and had no problems. Big thing, no carbs, no alcohol, shrink the liver. I think you are good. Good luck, can't wait to hear how you do on the other side as you begin your new life.

I would think it would be alright. But I'm curious as to why you're on clear liquids for the pre-op diet? I was on a liquid diet, but not a "clear" liquid diet pre-op. It was only for the 1st week post-op that I was restricted to clear liquids.

I was on a clear liquid diet the day before my surgery. Different doctors do different things. I had 9 other days of just a liquid diet. All the Drs in my program request the last day be clear liquids, but I still had broths and stuff on that day.

I have to do clear liquid and Protein Shakes for a week starting tomorrow. Then post op it will be full liquids for 2 weeks after the first meal of clear liquid. My NUT says the Isopure ready to drinks are definitely clear liquids.

      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.
