I only have to have a clear liquid diet one day prior to my surgery. Is strained chicken noodle soup (just the broth) okay on this? What else is good to eat on this diet? I know the usually tea, water, popsicles, jello, etc.

Clear liquids can actually be any kind of broth like beef or chicken, and you can strain chicken noodle soup and drink just the broth. Cheaper just to go buy some bouillon cubes and make some in boiling Water. Then you don't waste the cost of the soup unless that's just what you prefer.

I never had a pre-op diet though I was watching it a bit for my own good. The day before I had a clear diet and on it I could have the broths or Jello as long as it was not red or purple. I drank some broth,, crystal light and ate some green jello. That was it because it was already doing waves to my tummy. Then the laxatives and magnesium citrate...I was done for.

I can't have jello on my clear liquid diet...just saying. Not sure if you can, but it doesn't count as liquid on mine..

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but I am on a clear liquid diet for the next couple days and would like to know more on what people are having (or could have)
