3 weeks clear liquids

[kmommy1 0]

My dr has 3 week clear liquid post op. I am on day 4. I hate G2 but grape i can tolerate. Water and broth makes me nauseous. broth from chicken noodle Soup I can do its just so salty and a waste. Popscicle and Jello are getting old. But I feel I'm hungry. I cant introduce foods until 4 weeks. I am really struggling.

What have they told you to do for Protein?

Nothing. Just said keep 64 oz of liquid preferably g2

Wow - that's a long time with only Clear liquids and no Protein. :-( You might be experiencing "head hunger" instead of true hunger. Can you add anything to your Water - like flavor drops or crystal light? I would consider contacting your Nutritionist to see what they recommend - it's critical that you get all of your fluids in and I would have thought you would need Protein in week 2 at least (but I'm certainly not an expert).

Can you do clear Protein Drinks? Isopure, Syntrax Nectar, and Unjury chicken broth are all clear Protein drinks. For my Clear Liquids phase I did a lot of strained broth-based Soups. They had more flavor than just plain chicken broth. But I think it's nuts you haven't been given any instructions on getting any protein in for 3 full weeks!

Yeah, I was only on clear liquids for 3 days and then I was allowed my regular Protein Shakes at least. I think it was closer to a week and a half before I was allowed any other "full" liquids besides the shakes. At that point I was allowed drinkable yogurt and strained cream Soups.< /p>

I just started the Clear Liquids and my doctor said I could have sugar free Jello so I made put orange Jello, ice, enough Water to make the ice float, a table spoon of vanilla, 3 paclets of stevia, and 2 scoops of trader joes vanilla protien (soy, I am sever milk and why allergy). It tastes like orange dreamsicle so yummy.

You definitely need protein! During my clear phase I had Isopure Cookies and cream flavor. If you get unflavored Isopure then it's only half the amount of Proteins, but at least you can add a bit here and there to warm beverages. If you want more variety on clears, try diet Snapple, diet Fuze, and Powerade Zero.
