I had my procedure yesterday...any good ideas on what you all used for clear liquids besides broth

Congratulations fellow bandster!

You can have sf jello,water, decaffeinated coffee, crystal light, sf kool-aid, diet tang, diet snapple& sf popsicles

I drank plenty of Crystal lights all flavors and I put the drink in a glass and in the freezer to make a icy slushy drink. Taste great. I added some dice dried onions in my broth to flavor it a bit.

I just had surgery Monday and Popsicles were a life saver!!

.gasx, heating pad, laxative and rest all help with the discomfort. Make your own chicken broth cambells has a lot of creamed soup with water..and all the drinks meantion earlier. Welcome to the club we are excited to have you here.

Thank you!!! I think the gas is the worst part if post op!!!

I had my surgery on yesterday and was really afraid, because of what I heard about the gas pains. I am pleased to announce I have not experienced any gas pains yet, I am taking the liquid pain medication because of the incisions....

I have been sipping on chicken broth, V8, Water and today I had a Protein shake. So far so good...

Warm tea!!!! (with splenda) I am 4 days post op and today, this has been my saving grace! Calms my belly when it rumbles and also is soothing. I just made a thread about it hoping it could help someone else on they post op journey best wishes!

Thanks for the warm tea idea... I was banded Thurs 2 days ago....doing great just having bad gas pains!!
