3 day clear liquid diet

[mommylove2014 18]

I am having my surgery on Monday first thing in the morning. That being said i am on my 3 day clear liquid diet i started today. I was hungry until my stepdad gave me a idea. Get off the Jello and broth drink Water it will fill you up. I made some lemon water so its like lemonade and im starting to get not hungry. Im a little nervous for surgery on Monday i hope all goes well. Is there anything else that is considered a clear liquid? i have sugar free jello sugar free Popsicle and broth then of course water!!!! I am glad that my stomach isnt growling now that i stopped drinking the broth and moved to lemon water though!! Is anyone else having surgery on Aug 15? Are you nervous because i am! it came up quicker than i thought it would. Also how do i post from the app because i couldnt figure it out and i had to log on my computer... Im new to this site! Thanks in Adavnce!

I am also having my surgery on August 15th. I am on Clear liquids. I'm allowed to add unflavored Protein to my broth up till the day before surgery. This seems to help with the weakness and hunger, I have been varying my broths a little and drinking Powerade zero and decaffeinated tea and Water. I am nervous; especially after hearing from so many people that during the first week post-op it is common to question yourself and feel like you may have not made the right choice in choosing surgery . Everyone I have talked to has been ultimately happy with their decision & have had positive results but they all have said that the first week is pretty rough both mentally and physically. I have to admit that I'm a little scared about how I am going to feel next week.

@@mommylove2014 Powerade Zero is really good. Be sure to get the Zero though. Flavored teas (iced or hot). Hang in there!

@@melbell2222 We're not allowed coffee on our clear liquid diets. :-( Although - I can't complain since I only have to do 1 day. :-)

Yeah no coffee. U only have to do 1 day @@KristenLe ur lucky. It's crazy every doctor has everyone do something different. My best friend is having hers on August 30 same office different doctor and she just has to do the liquid diet that we are doing after with Protein shakes and grilled chicken 2x a day for a week. I rather do that. But I can't complain surgery is in couple of days. I just like chicken
