Getting in calories on clear liquid diet

[*slim* 2]

Hi. I am currently on one week of Clear liquids after surgery. I am rather curious how any one else got their calories in during this stage.:thumbup: I have been tracking my calorie intake, and it isn't that much. I have only had 80 calories so far today and found it hard to get that in. Any suggestions would be great.:frown:

Thanks

New Whey Protein bullets(42g) have the 42g of protein and 175 calories. It is only 3 oz of Fluid, so it is easy to get down. They can be bought at GNC.< /p>

I was banded on 9/26/08...so far the only problem is not being able to get rid of the gas...any suggestions? What is the best way to use the whey Protein Powder for drinks? I tried it in my coffee this am and since I love coffee black it wasn't great. I need fullliquids ideas.

Thanx pttcarol

In the first five days after my surgery I think I consumed a total of maybe 50 calories. That's what my doc wanted me to do. Now I'm on a two week liquid diet, which totally sucks.

You don't worry about calories. If you are feeling fine, don't worry about it. You will have enough days of calorie counting ahead.

I think I went almost a month when I had no more than 500 calories because I just couldn't get it in! And that was on food!

When I do Clear Liquids (like after my fill) I drink a clear Protein drink from Vitamin Shoppe... it's in the refrigerator section and from the makers of Muscle Milk. I think it's 180 calories, and I drink 2 in a day, so that seems to be enough calories to not get hungry because it's 80 grams of protein!

Do you like the Muscle Milk products?

I had the surgery yesterday and I started with a broth this morning in the hospital and all eve I have been drinking a shake. I put in some fruit to give me a few more calories. I also have been drinking Water I don't have too much of an appetite for anything else and I can't even seem to finish the shake I made. I think I am going to save the rest for tomm. How did anyone else handle it right after surgery??
