Hi - I had my sleeve done last Thursday (3/25) and my surgeon wants me on Clear liquids for another 5 days. I'm getting a little bored with Isopure, Crystal Light, Beef and chicken broth, and SF popsicles. Does anybody have any unusual or different things that you've done? I saw a suggestion somewhere else about cucumber Water (puree the cuke in a food processor and then strain out the pulp) that I'm going to try. I would love some variety right about now.

Thanks!

It's not "creative", but I enjoyed SF Jell-O. I bought a variety pack and found the taste to be yummy.

:thumbup1:I take the seasoning packets out of the ramen soups to make my broth, tastes so much better!

I bought a large miso soup from a local restaurant and strained out the bits. I was able to get the flavor and was left with a relatively clear liquid. I also made a pot of Lipton french onion soup with a bit extra water to dilute. I strained out all the onions and had a pretty clear flavored broth left.

Thanks, all. I appreciate the ideas!

Hugapug - my wife got some miso soup and french onion soup from Whole Foods. The miso soup definitely didn't look clear, but maybe I should try a restaurant or another brand. The french onion soup had cane juice as its third ingredient, so I've been reluctant to use it.

You can try Campbells veggie, veg beef etc. strain out the solids, you wll get a different taste.

I put unflavored protein powder in

sf Hawaiian punch, sf kool-aide, sf poweraide and gatoraide.

We are allowed to have Italian Ice and Fruit Sorbet in this stage on my program.

I read somewhere that somebody strained egg drop soup from their local Chinese restaurant. I am scheduled for June, so I've kept that in the back of my mind. :001_smile:

I strained wonton soup from a local chinese place and also strained out the french onion soup as well.

Both tasted great.

I agree, strained wonton soup is my favorite. I like strained chicken noodle a lot better than chicken broth. My nutrionist suggested freezing lemons and limes in ice cubes...that is good in water, too!

When I had my band, I asked my local chinese place to sell me "non wonton/wonton soup" they just sold me the broth which is 1000% more delish than plain broth. They just came up with a price to charge me....might be worth asking...
