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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
