I've already been through the 2 week pre op liquid diet, then when I had my surgery my Dr suggested another 2 weeks of Clear liquids.

I made a mistake thinking he meant just any liquids, so I had some different types of Soup, with a bit of 'cheating', (if it had peas or carrots in it I would chew them up and eat it).

Anyways, when I saw the Dr again, that day I had a bit of sharp pain and a feeling of a lump in my throat even when I haven't eaten. He said that I need to go back on clear liquids again for another week!! I feel like I'm going to puke at the thought of chicken broth.:confused:

Does anyone have any recipes or ideas to change up the CLEAR liquid diet? Please help.

Oh my!! I don't really have any suggestions.

Other than do a web search on clear liquid diet and perhaps you will be inspired.

I just wanted to say best wishes in your recovery.

Following post-op orders is not easy, but is very important to let our stomachs heal. Putting anything solid down, even well chewed, makes the stomach grind--something we don't want happening during the healing phase.
