Need creative clear liquid ideas please!



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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:

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...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
