Hi everyone! I'm pretty new here. I had VSG 1 week ago today and all is going well except I am really bored with broth, decaf tea, and water. I found on you tube a recipe for a clear liquid diet apple pie in a mug. It consist of apple juice, drop of honey, pinch of cinnamon, and a drop of vanilla simmered on the stove. Do you think this is ok? Has anyone else tried it before?

I haven't tried it, but the recipe sounds delish and I don't see anything wrong with it. I did drink warm apple juice while I was on clears and having trouble getting down enough calories. Apple juice is a relatively high in "empty" calories and I was instructed not to "drink calories" so it is now a rare treat.

I think this early out, you're taking in so few calories that would be an OK thing to try (but double-check with your nutritionist if you're not sure about it).

I'm a week out too! Although I got to start thick soft foods today (yogurt etc) but I was told to dilute my apple juice 3 parts water 1 part apple juice, so maybe try that?

I was on a liquid diet for 5 weeks. My doc actually told me to drink about 8 ounces of apple juice every morning during those 5 weeks because he said with just broth and water you're not getting much if any carbs and your body still needs some carbs. I think it sounds very good and yummy.
