Day 3 and counting...YAY!!!! But...besides....jello, crystal light, chicken/beef/ and veggie broth and sugar-free juice pops....is there anything else I can eat in the first 2 weeks of "clear fluids"? This is my thrid day and I am already bored of the things the doctor told me to eat...

Thanks for your help!

Just keep on keepin' on! You'll get there. I had a very similar pre-op diet. The exception: I could have UP TO 1 cup of cottage cheese per day. I would eat it almost one curd at a time just to make it last longer. LOL!

apple juice, tea, gatorade

Special K protein water,sf fudge popsicles,sf jello made with apple juice or pineapple juice.

Hang in there . You should never have to do a liquid diet ever again .

Thanks for your words of encouragement!! I am so excited to be on this path to a new life. If the worst thing is eating liquids for a week or so, I've gotten nothing to worry about!!

If you are really hungry I would move to creamy soups. They are really filling and liquid. Good luck.

ive posted this inanother area, but i REALLY struggled through the clear liquid diet preop. Post op it makes perfect sense, but preop was tough. I FOUND SOMETHING THOUGH...brands in broth matter!

if you like fried chicken, Butterball, the same people that process turkeys, have canned chicken broth that is so good im sipping hardly anything else. (beside the special k protien water, those are great too) But different brands do taste different.

I think one of the reasons i did sowell in recover is because i really stuck to the clear liquid diet. there was nothing in there to throw up or make me nausious (spelling?).

Just keep reminding yourself that you WILL EAT AGAIN! yes you willl, you will eat again and enjoy it and feel more satisfaction than you have before!

(thats what i tell myself)

My nutritionist said I could have apple and grape juice. She basically said any juice, but orange. I also like aquafina flavored water.

Reading from the letter from my doc... my clear diet is to consist of:

coffee (no milk or creams) Tea, Water, Jell-O, Popsicles, Broth/Bullion, Kool-aid, Gatorade, Non Pulp Juices.
