ok so here I am , trying to switch things up, and I have added s/f jello to my clear liquid phase... thats ok right? also finding that s/f ice pops r nice too. not too into broth but i don't think that it really matters does it? I noticed i feel soo full all the time... do you think more nutrition is needed? My dr. says I can't have protein shakes untill full liquid phase although in 2 days I get to add liquid yogurt. What did you eat during each phase? Ideas please? thanks!

My favorite thing on the clear liquid part was the soup they serve at Japanese habachi restaurants.. It was tastier than plain broth and pretty cheap... I got 5 styrophome cups of it for $10. I also had jello. I was told to drink G2 Gatorade, the sugar free Gatorade and when I got tired of sipping, I froze some Gatorade and that was really good. I also really liked apple juice.

I believe sf jello is considered a clear liquid. Lets see what others say about it.

I'm at the same point as far as clear foods. This is really hard but I'm trying. Stay vigilant.

Clears are anything that you can see thorough. Decaf teas, coffee (with no milk), jello, popcicles etc...

Avoid the coffee...as per my surgeon it's not considered a clear liquid. Yes, Jello is considered a clear "liquid"...as long as you don't add anything to it.

I had cravings for salt during my liquid diet phase, so plain chicken broth was perfect to stay compliant with the diet and provide the salt I wanted.

thanks everyone!

As a nurse, coffee is considered a clear liquid as long as it is decaf and no milk added. Each surgeon has an opinion and the ones that I work with allow us to drink it. Since I am not a coffee drinker, it didn't matter to me. To each his own.
