Google: What are Clear liquids and full liquids?

There is a LOT of guidance (also the Big Book of the Gastric Sleeve has this well covered.)

Bottom line: clear is can you see through it? Full is clear plus anything you can get through a straw (but we do NOT use straws). Does this help?

Don't worry to much about clears, i was only on them for two days went to fulls when i came home.

Depending on your surgeon/hospital's guidelines (which are always across a wide spectrum), clear liquids will probably be what you take in during your hospital stay, usually a couple of days. broth, tea, Jello, Water, sugar-free Popsicles, etc. If you can see through it, and it's a liquid (or like Jello, turns into a liquid easily), that's a clear liquid food.

My surgeon will have me on clears till the afternoon that I leave the hospital, and then I will be allowed full liquids. I'll be upgraded to things like milk, cream-style Soups (without lumps or chunks) and Cream of Wheat.

If you don't have a list of foods on hand from your doctor yet, Art is right--Google is your friend! Plenty of resources out there for you. Good luck!
